About the Game

Museum Sentinel is a first- and third-person, story-driven horror game set in a dark, abandoned museum.
You are the night guard – alone, with only a flashlight and your fading courage.
The exhibits are not what they seem. Something is watching. Something moves.

Explore the past… before it finds you.

🧩 Uncover the Mystery

Wander through exhibition halls, storage rooms, and hidden levels of the museum.
Read notes, find keys and clues, and slowly piece together a disturbing narrative.
Every room brings new questions – and maybe an answer or two.

🕯️ Survival Through Light and Sound

Use your flashlight, candles, or walk blindly in the dark.
Light offers safety – but not forever.
Pay attention to sounds: they may guide you… or mislead you.

🗝️ Key-Based Progression and Object Interaction

Collect usable items, keys, codes, and rare relics.
Unlock sealed doors, restore power, inspect mysterious artifacts, and solve logic-based puzzles to move forward.

👁️ Something Watches

You’re not the only one guarding this place.
Cameras, shadows, moving statues… and something else.
Be careful what you look at – and what you don’t.
