You've woken up in a strange apartment. You can't shake the feeling that you're being watched. Use your wits, choose your fate.

Click to interact
'E' to pick up items
'R' to reset

There's a lot you can inspect, and some things give more information/do something different if you are near by when you click them. There is a way to get out alive.

Good luck.

Update: I fixed a couple of minor bugs related to reseting after a death (they could make it impossible to win). Also I put doorknobs on the doors just so people could see them at all. Again, related to win condition.

Out in the country with poor internet, I'll upload source as soon as I can.

Is there only the starting room? I found the key but cannot get out the exit. I really like the game, but I'm not sure if I'm stuck or this is it.

I found another door... I'm enjoying this, nice game.

The cross-genre between adventure game, top down shooter (even if there's no real shooting involved) and horror is pretty rad man. Awesome entry.
I didn't finished the game though, I'm stuck after "using" the aerosol, no matter what I do I die.

On the bad side I would say that the walls and doors are pretty hard to see.

Sweet atmosphere. You nailed the Hotline Miami gameplay/feel

I liked the mood and style of the game. It was pretty difficult though.

Impressive. This is one of the nicest looking entries I have seen. Also, I was able to shoot myself.

Very good game, even if I was unable to find how to win :(

I'll put up a spoiler later on, but for now I'll let people try to work out how to get out alive! As a little hint, I'll say that the lighting in the game isn't just for show.

The graphics are top notch. This looks really nice and polished. How did you draw all the art??

Thanks everyone, glad people are enjoying it! You can read my post mortem if you want a spoiler on how to solve the puzzle! I also mention how I did all the art and what not. Cheers!

Pretty cool… I kept panicking and firing before it was necessary though… and then didn't feel like doing it all again. Many nice details.

Man, this got my heart pumping!

Liked this an awful lot. Sounds were good and the puzzle was off-beat and interesting. Figured everything out relatively easily, even if it was dark. Looks good too!

Pretty creepy! But not 100% how to beat this!

Great game! Only issue was the message length.

Wow almost gave up until you hinted at the lighting, great game all around!

Gives me the creeps. Pretty cool.

Nice mood and a fun puzzle. Looking forward seeing more story added to it. Good job!
Linus Lindberg19 Dec 2013, 10:42
Wow, one of my favourite entries so far! I got completely absorbed in it, great gameplay and storytelling! Love the mood :)

Very engrossing tale. I enjoyed it.

Awesome game! Loved the mood and puzzle, though I found using the key on the door a little annoying as it would not trigger unless you clicked the 'perfect' spot, which was not the handle lol. Otherwise great work! Looking forward to your next entry :P

Ahaha yeah Almax, that was an annoying little issue. It actually compares the center of the player to the center of the object being clicked, which for doors is actually their hinge, so you have to stand on the wrong side of them to open them! Oops :P

Glad you enjoyed it!

I like how the theme is treated, only one shot, but mostly only one object in hand.
The puzzle was quite nice, and its integration to the level was great, good job on that point.
Andreas Brandt28 Dec 2013, 19:04
YES! i did it, silent hill is easier, i took me like 20mins to get out of the room, the assassin kills me like 10 times. 5/5 in every aspect, is challenging, scaring, have cool graphics, stressing sound effects and its addictive, awesome job.

The hit detection on the door was very difficult. After that, I thought everything was quite clever and I really liked the feel of the game.
NiceAlexanderAS6 Jan 2014, 17:50
wow the game is scary xD feels awesome! great work :D loving the sound effects and no music makes it spooky :D
