About the Game

The lights are gone. The walls are closing in. Somewhere ahead is the only way out - and somewhere behind you, something is listening.

Pinched is a multiplayer survival-horror race through a maze of pitch-black tunnels that is never the same twice. Up to 8 players spawn deep underground and scramble for the single exit, armed with nothing but a failing flashlight and a handful of flares. Every footstep echoes. Every whisper carries. And you are not alone down here.

Descend into procedurally generated caves and flooded storm drains where the landmarks lie and the dead ends kill. Work together or leave each other behind, but move fast, stay quiet, and pray the dark stays empty.

Features

  • A maze that fights back. Every round regenerates the tunnels - there is no memorizing the way out.

  • Pitch-black by design. Your flashlight is your lifeline... and a beacon to everything hunting you.

  • Flares change everything. Light the path, mark your trail, or hold back what's chasing you.

  • Sound is survival. Footsteps, voices, and racing hearts travel down the halls. Sprint and you're heard. Crouch and you might just live.

  • Proximity voice chat that echoes through the tunnels. Coordinate, panic, or listen for the screams around the next corner.

Modes

  • Race - first one to the exit wins. Trust no one.

  • Hunter - one player becomes the predator. The rest run.

  • Escape the Flood - the water is rising. Climb, or drown together.

  • Escape the Monster - something lives in these tunnels. Outsmart it, or feed it.

Grab your friends. Grab a flashlight. Don't get caught. Don't get lost.
