About the Game

You play as Joseph, a kitchen worker at a local grocery store. A quiet shift turns into a nightmare when a coworker suddenly attacks you, forcing you to flee.

Your escape leads you into an abandoned industrial factory, and the doors lock behind you. The only way out is to keep moving forward. As you search for an exit, you uncover the dark history of the facility and realize you are being hunted by the reanimated corpses of your friends.

Key Features

  • Two Unique AI Threats: Survive one enemy that moves the exact second you look away, and another that tracks you using sharp hearing and vision.

  • Fight Back: You are not defenseless. Use a limited charge taser to stun enemies and buy yourself time to escape.

  • High Replayability: A focused one hour horror experience featuring two main endings and four hidden side endings based on your choices.

  • Escalating Horror: The game starts in a cozy, familiar grocery store and descends into a dark, realistic industrial nightmare.

  • Fully Voiced & Immersive: Built with realistic graphics, full voice acting, subtitles, and a clear objective system to guide your escape.

  • Hidden Secrets: Explore the environment to find easter eggs and piece together the tragic lore of the abandoned factory.
