About the Game

Move forward through fear.

On a dark walk home at night, through dimly lit residential streets, an eerie forest, and quiet country roads.

It should be just another ordinary walk home.

But tonight, something terrifying may happen.

Sometimes, you will need to stop, catch your breath, overcome your fear,

and make it home safely.
