About the Game

Story

The sewer dragged you into its depths. Descending down the manhole, the outside gets darker, the quiet gets louder, and the faint whispers of regret start scratching away at your mind. Lugging a heavy bag full of camera equipment, you get to work setting up a small station to survey the halls.

Installing the cameras were a tense nightmare. You heard a noise but weren't sure what it was, or if it was even real. You saw a shadow engraved into your eyes, a headache digging deep. Eventually, you find yourself back at the station.

As time goes on, the darkness tugs away at you, feeling an impulse to be consumed by it. The more you look, the more you realise why you're even in the sewer. The past starts to drag a sharp rusty knife across your cerebral cortex, 

Preserve your power, your resources, and your sanity. 

Gameplay

A camera based psychological horror game. Survive until 6 AM, preserve your power, face manifestations with your flashlight. They will move faster as you progress, and power will drain faster as well. Manifestations will kill you if you are not aware of their location, so using your camera is vital to your survival.
