About the Game

You are B-12. No name. No future. A prisoner trapped inside the Monolith Prison, a place that should not exist.

The only path forward is the maze. Once the gate opens, the clock begins: one real hour to find your way out. The time will not bend, and the walls will not show mercy. Fail, and the Watcher will claim you forever.

This is a short, atmospheric horror experience — part escape room, part dreamcore nightmare.
