About the Game

"YOU DESERVE TO BE HERE"


Story


Micah spent his life hunting, torturing, and killing people. After dying in prison, he awakens in a strange, incomprehensible place—a twisted blend of different locations. He soon realizes that this is his own personal hell.

Gameplay


The game is a modern, story-driven, third-person single-player survival horror experience set in a semi-open world. Resource management is at the core of the gameplay, and finding keys is essential to making your way through your personal hell.

The Hangman Game


The game is a realistic, gore-filled, and splatter-inspired interpretation of the classic Hangman game. Just as the hanging figure loses its limbs one by one until it is left hanging from the rope, Micah shares the same fate. A rail system above his head follows him everywhere, keeping the rope attached to him, while a rusted iron trap resembling an exoskeleton severs his limbs whenever he fails a puzzle.

Level Design


The game's environments are reflections of Micah's dead and fractured mind. You'll explore unsettling combinations of locations, such as subway tunnels and underground stations merged with hospital wards, asylums, and prison environments.
