About the Game

Those Who Stayed is a first-person psychological horror game set across three nights in a suburban neighborhood that something decided to keep. Read what residents left behind. Piece together why they ran. Understand why some of them couldn’t.

There’s no combat. There’s nowhere to fight back.

There’s only the street, the dark between the lamps, and the growing certainty that you already know how this ends.

60 minutes. One neighborhood. No one stays.
