About the Game

THE SUSPENSE — first person horror about a man tortured by the hardships of life among «endless rusty walls».

STORY

Doesn't matter what the past held, impossible to live in the future, but it's clear that the present is a torment. Every day, the main character and his mentor live by the same routine. They work hard on a mysterious project related to Artificial Intelligence. Moreover, the constant and radical control exerted by machines can crush anyone's consciousness, and if you can't deal with it — it's better not to know what will happen to you. So many questions and so few answers. It's time to do something about this...

Explore the world of a terrifying alternative future, overcome challenges, and maybe you'll be saved (or at least learn a hint of the truth).
