A first-person action horror game set in a nightmarish manor infested with zombies, psychotic cultists, and a horde of other horrors. Utilize an assortment of different weapons in a brutal fight for survival as you try to escape from the Nightmare of Decay.
The gameplay revolves around navigating a sprawling, multi-level manor filled with a variety of deadly enemies, solving environmental puzzles, and managing limited resources like ammunition and health items in a first-person perspective.
Players can utilize an assortment of different weapons like pistols, shotguns, and even a crowbar for melee combat. Enemies require careful aiming and resource conservation, as ammo is limited. This creates a tense, survival-focused experience where players must choose their battles wisely to ration consumable health items.
The interconnected level design of the manor encourages backtracking and exploration. The in-game map clearly marks key locations and locked doors, enabling players to efficiently navigate the environment and master the layout.
Environmental puzzles range from simple item fetch quests to more involved tasks like moving statues or operating machinery. These puzzles are well-integrated into the overall gameplay flow, often gating progress through the manor in a satisfying way as players acquire the necessary items and tools to advance.
Completing the 2-3 hour main campaign unlocks additional game modes that add to the title's replayability, including a randomizer mode, a horde mode, and a randomly generated dungeon crawler. Various gameplay challenges like "knife only" or "no sprinting" also encourage replaying the main story in novel ways.
