About the Game

PSYCHOTIC NIGHTMARE

ABOUT THE GAME


Enter the dark corridors of your high school, the source of your psychotic episodes, and face the fears that torment you. The endless academic pressure and the high demands imposed by your classmates and family have brought you to a breaking point. Now, in the middle of a psychological breakdown, you must wander through the eerie high school to find a solution while avoiding your fears incarnated in shadows.

EXPLORE...

Step into the eerie, distorted version of your high school, where the once familiar corridors are now filled with disturbing hallucinations. Search for student and teacher notes, uncover mysterious clues, and navigate the darkness with your flashlight. But beware—something is searching for you...

THE SHADOWS

Meet the shadows, the incarnations of your deepest fears, which are haunting you throughout the school. These shadows reflect the overwhelming pressures and anxieties you faced, now turned against you.

HIDE!

If you hear a scream in the hallways... They're here! Quickly HIDE inside the LOCKERS before the shadows catch you. The shadows are waiting in the darkness, ready to drag you into the abyss.

THINK

Solve puzzles based on each class subject to navigate your high school. Use your wits to gather clues and progress in your quest for answers.

WHO'S THERE?

Along your journey, you will find VHS tapes left by your teacher. What is his connection to all this? Can he save you? Why can he communicate with you through the tapes?

SOLUTION?

Why did all this begin? Is there a cure or a way out of your psychosis? Explore the school, guided by your teacher, and try to find a solution. Only by facing your fears and solving the mysteries you will find a way to sanity.
Since you are experiencing a psychotic episode, you will need to take pills to maintain your sanity and continue your journey.


Dive into a Psychological Horror Adventure where relentless academic pressure and high expectations will push you to the edge of collapse. Will you escape the labyrinth of your mind and regain your sanity, or will it be consumed by the shadows?
