Our game is a simple maze in which you must deactivate 4 terminals to escape. The device on your arm will help you with this. Be careful — each activated terminal makes the monsters more aggressive... and after the third one, a new guest awaits you.

Controls:
WASD - movement
E - interact
123 - use device abilities

Nice job, esp graphics! I died quite quickly though ^^

Excelent intro, for me it was quite difficult to understand the mechanics, but with a few attemps you star to understand and get hooked, nice job!

Nice intro... really sets the mood for the game.

The cutscene at the very beginning is incredibly beautiful. And the graphics in the rest of the game are great too. But it's unclear what the hand abilities do (besides the first one). The third one slows down enemies, I think?

In any case, great job!

That cutscene was really tough. Love the skibidi vibe

Amazing visuals and atmosphere! The intro was insanely good, really top notch! As for the gameplay, it looks really cool but it was a bit confusing to understand what the radar did and how to properly avoid and stun enemies, but it was a very cool concept either way! Congrats for the team!

Just a typical sale at “Pyaterochka”. The graphics and atmosphere are top-notch! The enemies are a bit dumb, but it doesn’t really hurt the overall impression. Great job!

Fantastic style and atmosphere. The opening really set the tone, had a good time. Great work!

visual is pretty and cool hand in left corner but stun animation\radius isn't clear

Many have already complimented the atmosphere, but I want to give a shout-out to the sound. It’s pretty creepy.

Great mood for sure. Having to press the number keys to use your abilities coulda been more clear. Nice cutscene too.

Great art and audio, I think this one has grea potential. The controls are not very converient, Id love to have the stun at least on the mouse. Good luck!

The presentation is top-notch, of course. Unfortunately I'm just really not into the "just walk around a big room" game design it's got going on. It feels a little tedious to lose all my progress and have to restart in the same map with the same set pieces. I could see this being expanded into something super cool, though.

Great mood. Absolutely terrifying presentation. Super polished visuals!

Nice game! I love how the combination of music and lighting creates an immersive, horror atmosphere. Also, I think a difficulty level would be a nice improvement, but besides that, good work!

You certainly nailed Mood. Graphics and sound are also top-notch, or close to it. The stun weapon is useful but we need something much more powerful. As it stands, the difficulty level is too high. A plasma rifle is in order. Even so, there is a lot of imagination in this game—truly a frightening experience. Well done.

The premises and visuals are done very well!

Really nice mood, graphics and sound. It seems promising, but I struggled with the controls, especially going from WASD to 3 to stun when the enemies would run at you. For the record I struggle with the controls in a lot of games, but because of that I kept dying and never got close to completing the level.

amazing game about surviving in a Пятерочка store.
I do recommend this game eveyone who like to suffer in a good way
Art is peak, that's for sure

The opening and ending cutscenes are very atmospheric. The pixel art is also top-notch. Great job, guys.

Not bad! How to kill them? I'm tired of them 😁

Maybe I'm too pussy, so I just rushed to each terminal and successfully evacuated without any encounter with enemies. Liked the splatter-punk atmosphere and general vibes.
JerryWest24 Apr 2026, 08:47
The art work is extremely excellent. The first thing I noticed was a 2D game that had a very intense atmosphere. The difficulty level was well controlled and I managed to pass it on the third attempt. It was a great experience.

cool vibe and visuals and sound! Game kinda hard with no tutorial for casual player, but game is banger

Fun to play, but lacks some depth.

Great mood in both the intro cutscene and ingame! Difficulty seems well-balanced to me

loved kinda modulated arts in intro!!!

HOLY SHIT the mood has just skyrocketed. I am speechless how DOPE the visual side of the game is (and audio compliments it perfectly). The gameplay is rather simple, but at least I could focus simultaneously on playing and admiring more sick art :smile: The setting in this game is BADASS. I am so delighted. Beautiful minds

I enjoyed the game, the gameplay is engaging! But I think I encountered a bug. Cuz my repellent and signaling device stopped working after I repaired the second broken computer.

Great entry! Took me a bit of trail and error to learn the interaction between the different mechanics, but I suppose dying on your first runs fits the spooky atmosphere well enough :)

You did a great job capturing a horror atmosphere - games like this really get under my skin

The visuals are incredible, both in the cutscenes and during gameplay
