About the Game

After a long day at work, you return home.
Everything seems ordinary: preparing dinner, tidying up, and trying to put your life in order. But as night falls, the mundane becomes a fragile illusion. Someone is watching you. Someone is hunting you.

In this game, you will explore the confines of your room while uncovering a terrifying truth. Balance the normality of everyday chores with a growing sense of dread, because the maniac may strike when you least expect it.

Set against the backdrop of a post-Soviet setting, this game captures the haunting feeling of domestic horror and paranoia — the fear of being trapped with nowhere to run, even inside the walls of your own home.

Can you keep your sanity and survive before the darkness takes over?

Key Features

  • Domestic Horror – a unique atmosphere inspired by life in the post-Soviet era.

  • Routine Meets Fear – cook meals, clean your room, and explore while being watched.

  • Unpredictable Threat – the maniac can appear at any moment, when you least expect it.

  • Gritty Visual Style – a bleak, realistic environment of an old apartment.

  • Psychological Tension – fear builds gradually, relying on atmosphere rather than cheap jump scares.
