Gameplay

In this '90s VHS-inspired horror survival game, players must survive a nightmarish sleep experiment and find a way to break free from the lab. Each night, they must solve puzzles, perform rituals, and complete tasks to wake up from the nightmare. Players must scavenge VHS-style items such as cassettes and floppy disks to trade for keys, unlocking restricted areas that contain essential components for progression. Failing to wake up results in death, but players can try again to uncover the truth.

Key Features

• Single Player Mode with random item spawns and handcrafted challenges to test your survival.
• Changeable difficulty levels.
• Unpredictable AI with varied  behavior each encounter.
• VHS-style nightmare with neon visuals, flickering lights, and 90s horror vibe.
• Immersive 3D audio that deepens the tension and atmosphere.
