About the Game

The Night of Escape

It is an indie game designed with themes of fear, horror, and escape.

The main perspective is a 3D first-person view, striving to replicate the unsettling and terrifying scenes within the game.

The story unfolds in an abandoned academy set in the 1970s.

The desolate environment, damp and gloomy atmosphere, and bloodstains on the walls seem to tell a horrifying tale that once transpired here.

Players take on the role of an outdoor enthusiast who, while passing by this remote academy in the wilderness, was attacked by an unknown assailant and knocked unconscious.

Upon awakening, you find yourself lying at the gate of this abandoned academy, with the exit just behind you, but it's blocked by obstacles. With no other choice, you must venture into the depths of the academy to uncover the mystery and find a way out.

Unbeknownst to you, danger lurks within the academy. It's said that the students here once disappeared overnight, leading to the place's abandonment.

In the darkness, it feels as if a pair of eyes are watching you, sending chills down your spine.

As you proceed, keep a close eye on your surroundings for any items or switches that could aid your escape, while also dodging unknown dangers.

Remember, you only have four chances.

If you fail to escape after four attempts, death will consume you.

                                                             Game Features

  • "First-Person" - The player adopts a first-person perspective.

  • Face fear and horror head-on in an immersive experience.

  • Distant footsteps and eerie laughter, sudden hallucinations.

  • If you accidentally touch something or step into an enemy's trap, even the slightest noise can put you in danger of being pursued. You cannot fight back with anything other than the limited items at your disposal. Your only options are to run or hide.

  • Footsteps: Similarly, your footsteps can give you away, but if you're far enough away, you're safe. Of course, crouching makes less noise, but whatever you do, never look back. And it likes to hide behind doors. Pay attention to your heartbeat. It might just save your life.

  • Lighting: The game uses a cool color palette to emphasize the horror elements. Players will find everything they can use in cramped, enclosed spaces to ultimately escape. Of course, it likes to turn off the lights, so you must always keep your flashlight fully charged, or you'll be left helpless in the darkness. Because even if it can't see, it can hear...

  • Items: Usable items are very limited and can only help you escape temporarily. So use them wisely.

  • Mechanics: Pay attention to the clues and hints in the scene. They are crucial for you.

  • Danger: If you feel your heartbeat quicken or a sense of unease, don't doubt it – it's nearby.

                                                             Special Notice

The game contains exaggerated sound effects and horror elements that may appear suddenly or be quite terrifying. If you are sensitive to such content, please play with caution. Playing with headphones will help you better judge the sounds in the game. At least... you'll know when it's behind you.

Wish you have fun playing.
