About the Game



"MANIKA" is a single-player, narrative-driven, first-person, short psychological horror and suspense game. You wake up in a dilapidated mental hospital room, yet you don't remember anything, including why you woke up there. You attempt to escape from the mental hospital and reclaim your memories by exploring your surroundings and filling in the gaps in your mind.


"Welcome to the depths of a 'mental asylum'... 'MANIKA' offers a mind-bending psychological thriller and horror experience. Get ready for a brief but intense adventure as you navigate through the grotesque and mysterious mental hospital from a 'first-person' perspective.

In this short yet immersive experience, you'll explore the fine line between reality and the supernatural, pushing your own mental limits. Will you lose your mind as you try to unravel the deep, dark secrets of the forgotten corridors of the hospital? But beware, as terrifying surprises and shocking events await around every corner.

The game aims to plunge you into a deep atmosphere of fear in a short amount of time. You have only a limited time, and you must confront maximum fear. Experience the horrifying moments in the Mental Asylum and question your own reality. Now, get ready to oscillate between the real and the terrifying truths."



Hello! We are two university students, currently 21 years old. Our passion for game development led us to leave our studies, and we are currently working on our first game. Experiencing the excitement of creating a game solely with our passion, without any financial support, has been truly rewarding. Stepping into this new world is not always easy, and making mistakes is inevitable. However, at this stage, we are eager to hear feedback from experienced gamers like yourself and be open to criticism in this regard. Positive or negative, every feedback is valuable to us. We hope to cross paths again in the future with bigger and more advanced games!

WE ARE AWARE OF THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION BUGS, IS GONNA BE FIXED.
