About the Game

Factory Reset is a first-person horror puzzle game set inside a dark, multi-level factory. Your objective is simple: enter the facility and shut off the main power.

As you explore the factory’s floors, you must manage your flashlight battery, solve environmental puzzles, and avoid the strange entities roaming the halls. Only 1 of them can actually kill you — The Entity — but the others can still interfere with your progress in dangerous ways.

Each floor introduces new puzzles, obstacles, and threats as you move deeper into the factory. Use the tools you find, interact with the environment, and experiment with different solutions to make your way forward.

Hidden throughout the factory are tokens that reward careful exploration. Collecting them unlocks additional rewards and encourage players to revisit earlier areas with new knowledge of the facility.

Reaching the power switch isn’t the end. Survive the final encounter, shut down the system, and find your way out before the factory claims another victim.

For players seeking an extra challenge, the game includes modifiers that change how the experience plays, allowing you to test your skills in new ways.

Features

• Explore 3 major factory floors
• Solve environmental puzzles with multiple solutions
• Survive 6 unique entities that disrupt your progress
• Manage 6 inventory items to navigate the facility
• Search for 25 hidden tokens and secrets
• Face a final boss encounter and escape sequence
• Replay the game with up to 15 challenge modifiers
• Unlock achievements and rewards through exploration and mastery

Good luck getting in… and out of the factory.
