Fear of the Dark

This is a Demo of the full game, which is going to be on steam

You are a reporter searching for 6 lost kids in a mansion , its walls whispering secrets of a forgotten past. Once a grand estate, it’s now a prison where darkness has taken hold—alive, sentient, and merciless. The shadows here don’t just obscure—they hunt.

Armed with only a flickering light and a dwindling supply of fuel, you must navigate through the mansion’s decayed corridors and hidden rooms. As you search for clues to your escape, cryptic notes scattered throughout reveal the mansion’s tragic history and the mysterious force that consumes all who linger too long in the dark.

But time is your enemy.

The deeper the darkness grows, the more relentless the shadow stalker becomes—an unseen predator waiting just beyond your light’s fragile radius, watching, stalking, ready to strike.

But beware:
The longer you stay in the dark, the more it stalks you.

🕯️ Core Features:

• Dynamic light survival: Stay within your torch’s radius or face the consequences.

• Shadow stalker AI: A creature that appears outside the light, watching... waiting.

• Interactive exploration: Read scattered notes, pick up keys, fuel your light, and unlock escape routes.

• Cinematic endings: Two possible outcomes, each with unique sound design and a full scrolling credits sequence.

• Immersive atmosphere: Glitch effects, heartbeat pulses, and reactive horror mechanics to keep you on edge.

Can you make it out alive—or will the darkness consume you?
