About the Game

Where Am I?

These places you find yourself in seem to be outside of reality all together. The entities of the mazes know you are there, and they have been waiting for someone to play with.

Find The Runestones.

The portal is your only way out and its runestones have been scattered across the mazes. Find all of the runestones, but don't let the entities who guard the runestones find you.

A Little Extra Help.

You are not entirely alone—you have your mysterious but trusty wrist device with multiple functions: it features a radar which you can use to locate runestones, a tracker which tells you how many runestones are left, a GPS arrow which always points back towards the portal, and, for some unknown reason, you receive occasional messages. From who? No one knows.

4 Mazes.

They Watch features four mazes with increasing difficulty, each with its own hard-mode variant offering an extra challenge. Each maze also contains its own entities with different behaviors, personalities, and counters. If you ever get stuck, each level has a small guide but ultimately it's up to you to learn how these entities behave and figure out the best ways to fend them off.

They are ALWAYS watching.
