A downloadable game for Windows
<-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><->
You wake up alone in a seemingly infinite hotel hallway.
You're tasked with writing down the names of all the tenants, but... something is following you.
<-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><->
Your goal in this tense game is to type quicker than it can catch you, while also managing its approach by looking back. This little game uses binaural audio to enhance the experience, so headphones are required.
It should take about 10 - 20 minutes to complete, but just know that it is a tough typing game, so It may or may not be even possible for everyone to finish.
Controls:
WASD or Arrow keys to move / look.
Keyboard: Type stuff, duh.
Esc: Quit game
[ ] : Adjust volume
F1: Enable god mode, disabling the need to type.
Requirements: A relatively capable computer.
Sidenote: This game was made in 1 week and a half, by a single person!

I am not currently quick enough to reach the end, but geeze is it an effective way of ramping tension. I think I'll teach myself to type faster through this game, nothing better to motivate you than fear!
Very cool game.
Thank you :) and no worries, even I can only barely finish it
My game is not opening, i install it, click to play and it never stops to loading, and when i click on the screen it closes. Can someone help me solve the error? Pls T_T
That’s weird, what are your computer specs? The game is somewhat intensive, so it could be that maybe
i'm sorry for my delay... I'll pass my computer specs for u, is a windowns 10, my processor is a Intel core i3-3220 and 64 bits... Maybe that's it, i think
It's a little hard to tell, maybe the cpu is a little underpowered but i dont think that should crash it. Are you running it from the desktop app or through download?
I tried playing on another pc and it was, apparently mine was the problem.. Thx!!
Nice vid! There is an ending, if you’re quick enough
This game is soo good, I managed to finish in 20 minutes and it was worth it. You are definitely a very talent person. Congrats :) & srry for my english xx
Thank you so much, I appreciate it :)
This game is awesome! and just the idea of the game is really unique and creative. The jump scares are really creepy and got me multiple times :(
Hey! I played your game for a youtube video. I love the concept and atmosphere! Definitely got me spooked and had me stressing over trying to type fast 😂Though I had a couple deaths which were a bit confusing given that I thought I was doing everything right but still died somehow with no clear reason why. I still had a great time with the game though! Keep up the great work!
This game was genuinely terrifying! It reminded me alot of typing of the dead from when i was a kid which was super nostalgic! The audio was chillingly good! I really felt like he was running up on me!!
Haha, glad you liked it :)
i love this game so much, dev one of my most fav horror games. The most i got to was 83 xD
Ohh dang that’s crazy far! That’s around my max as well lol
what i also wanted to say is that the sound design is amanzing. I Mean like the running you hear or random talking or the kitchen sounds with the people speaking. You did a really good job with the game :)
Also the Music hits hard at Block 20
Thanks man, that means a lot 😁 ‘Pretty happy with how it turned out too
The sound design and lighting of this game felt immersive. Even though the stalking entity doesn't match the artistic style of the environment (2d-sketch versus 3d model), it is still unsettling to look at, especially since it is unmoving and the lighting obscures a lot of its details from a distance.
My constructive feedback would be that the typing directions contain capitalizations yet the player's input does not need to be case-sensitive. Also, I thought checking behind myself was what I needed to do, to clear the hallway of the entity, but the entity can still triggers a game-over/restart, when in close proximity. Like, the entity does not trigger it, when it's in my face, but when I look away and look back at it several times, it will finally trigger the event. If no tips for entity evasion are provided at game start, I think how exactly the player loses the game should be more obvious, so they can learn from the experience.
Otherwise, it was a fun, unsettling experience! Thank you for sharing with us!
Hello! I played your game in my recent 3 Spooky Games video and yours is the 2nd game I played.
Even though I found it very challenging, I enjoyed it nonetheless and the game was just very good in how it was presented!
this is the first horror game I have played in years and it scared me so badly that it will be the last
I've never read anything more true. I almost broke my keyboard, and i hit my head on my chair when I jumped.
SOO scary.. you can actually hear the direction of where the monster is coming from... it seriously felt immersive like he was in the room with me. true test of my typing survival skills lol
the immersion of this game is incredible, the despair of having to type and at the same time running away from something makes me keep playing to see what happens, apart from that this furry animal is terrifying, one of the best indie horror games, without a doubt
I've never had a harder time typing...
Glad you liked it ;)
87, my heart can't handle more than this. Great game!
Thank you ;)
i made it to door 45 before i found my eyes drooling
this is a great game
If I STOP Typing, I get JUMPSCARED
Such a simple idea, but created in a very interesting and scary way. This game really got me "running" on my chair when typing these things while having this guy behind me, great game tuned for more!
Its such a simple yet very tense/scary game. I find myself taking off my headphones before he can jumpscare me 10000000000/10
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it >:)
It's so hard to type under pressure. I Tried my best. I couldn't type numbers to save my life. Literally ig
Haha nice, yeah it's definitely pretty tough. Block 49 tho, not too bad!
Thank you very much! I'm very glad you liked it :)
man I loved the fact that the game was simple and it made me scared the whole game, Seriously congratulations it was a great experience.
Keep it up
Gameplay PT-BR
Great concept! I really enjoyed it!

This game is fantastic! Honestly, I was so so scared the whole time!
Thank you! I'm very glad you like it!

Unfortunately, there aren't any plans to bring it to Mac at the moment
this was a super scary game made me very stressed out i really liked that about the game
had me looking behind me every step
Thank you so much, I'm very glad you liked it! Love the video :)
First I died, then I broke it, THEN I beat it. Fun game! The jumpscare could be a bit more jumpscarey. :)
