The story:
Something has gone wrong, you wake up abandoned and alone in a radioactive and derelict world filled with anomalies and unspeakable horrors. Your memories are gone, you are low on resources and every wasted minute brings you closer to your death. Your only hope for survival is to make it to the end of the road to try and find another group of survivors that set out before you.
However you soon realize that not everything is as it first seems.
Key features:
- Explore the world on foot or with your car that also acts as your mobile base on your journey.
- Search old abandoned buildings for loot which you can use to craft equipment and upgrades.
- Use stealth as well as various equipment and tools to evade and escape threats.
- Try to survive while managing your hunger, stamina, cold and fuel for your car.
- Procedural generation affects many parts of the game to give each player an unique experience.
- Solve puzzles which can have different solutions in every playthrough.
Additional features:
- Three individual difficulty settings for enemies, survival and puzzles.
- Optional “Reduced scares” mode which removes all enemies and scares from the game.
- Controller support (except for settings menu).
- Optional pixelation settings to give the game a more retro look.
Other:
Average length of the demo is 1 - 2 hours (varies a lot because of procedural generation and how much exploring you do) The demo currently has no save feature so make sure you have enough time to complete it.
The game is a work in progress. Feedback is very much appreciated!

One of the best Horror Games Demo I ever played on this channel, it could be way better for some stuff like the saving feature not included, the grave one is not that easy to spot from the others (It said it was recently dug, does not look like so, similar to others)...
- Funny thing is that for the longest part I thought those glowing moving balls are the monsters so I tried to avoid them and hide whenever I saw one near; little did I know what the real monsters look like xD
- The crafting system and items and loot is awesome! Discovering the other houses is extremely fun, however you do not appear on the map all the time when you are inside the forest far from the road!
- The stories and written notes adds a lot to the game, well done honestly!
I would love to see this game does well and goes to full release!
Thank you for playing and thank you for the kind words!
The reason for the player's position not showing on the map while in the forest is to create more interesting gameplay with the compass and sometimes force the player to visit a building to find their approximate location. Glad to hear you liked exploring them!
The part about the grave being recently dug up is a red herring and not part of the actual puzzle, but it will be removed from the game to not confuse others as well so thanks for your feedback!
You are most welcome! Indeed such a good game you have there InputAlfa, good job!
Good game & Interesting concept. Even though it's only a demo, you should still provide a save feature. Keep it up! :)
Thanks for playing! glad you liked it. Will look into adding the save feature for the demo, thanks for the feedback :)
