About the Game

OBJECTIVE
You are trapped in a house populated by hostile entities. The objective is absolute: search the environment, locate the hidden exit key, and unlock the room door to escape.

ADAPTIVE AI BEHAVIOR
The threat level scales as you progress. Advanced stages introduce smarter, highly sensitive entities with expanded patrol logic and sharper environmental awareness.

DECEPTION & EXPERIMENTATION
Survival requires navigating hazards and utilizing designated hiding spots. You can actively trick or distract threats to clear a path. However, entities learn from your behavior. If an enemy discovers they have been misled, they investigate that distraction point and adapt, rendering the same tactic useless a second time.

DYNAMIC SOUND TRIGGERS
Sound is the primary tracking mechanism. Generating noise alerts nearby threats instantly. Passive entities populate the house to sound alarms and broadcast your position if encountered, adding unpredictable layers to your escape route.
