About the Game

WARNING: This video game may potentially trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy. Player discretion is advised.


A Haunting That Never Ends:

Psycho is a first-person psychological horror game that traps you in a photorealistic house doomed to repeat the same night. Each loop begins in the same hallway, but the house changes, twisting deeper into a waking nightmare of shifting rooms, buried memories, and a presence that watches from the shadows. Inspired by P.T., Psycho delivers slow-burn horror with no HUD, no tutorials, and no mercy.

Every Loop Tells a Story:

You’re reliving the aftermath of a tragedy you don’t fully understand. Through distorted radios, torn journal pages, and forgotten cassette tapes, a tale of grief, betrayal, and guilt unfolds, but only if you pay attention. Meanwhile, a feral entity stalks you relentlessly. You have no weapons. only glass bottles to defend yourself. Use them wisely, or not at all.

Features:

  • Haunted Time Loop: The house reshapes itself with every cycle, revealing new secrets and escalating the psychological terror in an endless, ever-changing nightmare.

  • Hunted by an Unscripted Stalker: A relentless entity hunts you through the halls. You cannot fight it, only run, hide, and pray it loses your trail.

  • Puzzles Born from Fear: Your progress is earned by solving cryptic, environmental puzzles. There are no hints; only your wits can guide you through the darkness.

  • One Fragile Defense: Drinking bottles are your only tool against the horror. Use it to stun the enemy and escape or save it for a true moment of desperation.

  • Total Immersive Storytelling: The world itself tells the story through ghostly radio broadcasts, abandoned notes, and eerie sounds. with no HUD to break the mode.

  • Photorealistic Psychological Horror: Hyper-realistic visuals and a chilling soundscape pull you into a living nightmare where every shadow and whisper feels terrifyingly real.

  • Psycho is a short psychological horror inspired by genre pioneers like P.T, Granny and Alien isolation.
