About the Game

The lone engineer stationed at a remote lookout has vanished, and all four communication towers have gone offline. You are sent to investigate.

What you find is not abandonment. It’s a hunt. And light is your only protection.

Your job is simple. Reboot the four communication towers. Your flashlight and stamina regenerate over time, but it would be wise to use these sparingly.

If the forest around you goes quiet, The Hag is nearby. She moves when you aren't looking directly at her and the light from your flashlight scares her away, so be sure to always check your surroundings and have plenty of power for your flashlight. 

Scattered throughout the forest are The Hag's totems for you to collect. Keep a look out for their green lights but be cautious, their glow matches her eyes. Find all 24 for the true ending.

I wanted to make a short spooky game (roughly 2 hours) that didn't waste your time with pointless dialogue, red herring jump scares, and filler sequences but instead let you jump straight into paranoid horror. You are always being watched. You are always being followed. Check your corners. Check behind you. And don't waste your flashlight.

Cheers!
