About the Game

In this survival horror game, you decide to investigate the myth of the Hairy Man. He will follow you through the woods, your campsite, the campgrounds bathroom, and a warehouse. Your goal is to take four pictures of him for evidence, and the hairy man progressively gets faster the more pictures you take. After you collect four pictures, you have to find the large self defense razor in the bathroom to ensure survival.

Use mouse 2 to zoom in on your camera, and mouse 1 to take a picture.

To take a picture of the hairy man, you must first walk up to a highlighted area on the ground and press E. This will activate a trap. If you try to zoom your camera in on him normally, he will avoid it immediately as he's not in a trap. To get the trap to trigger, you must find a way to lure the hairy man to walk into it. 

If the hairy man ever catches you, you get jumpscared, so keep your eye on him, as he can only move when you're not looking at him. If he gets too far away he will teleport, which also can only happen if you're not looking at him, or if you try to zoom your camera in on him.
