Play as Christopher, a kid left home alone with a terrifying STALKER on the loose! Try and survive in this 80's, PS1 inspired, Home Invasion Survival Horror game - OR DIE TRYING!
The game puts players in the role of a young boy named Christopher, who must explore his home and complete chores while evading a mysterious stalker.
Players must use stealth mechanics to avoid detection by the stalker. This includes hiding in closets, behind furniture, and in other dark areas of the house. The stalker's unpredictable patrol patterns create a sense of tension, as players must carefully time their movements to remain unnoticed.
The fully interactive environment allows players to search for clues and notes that advance the disturbing narrative. Players can also use objects and furniture to block the stalker's path or create diversions.
The game incorporates light sanity mechanics, where prolonged exposure to darkness or the stalker's presence can negatively impact the protagonist. However, many reviewers noted that these mechanics had a minimal impact on gameplay, with some able to hide in the dark for extended periods without consequence.
The game's pacing and tone shift dramatically as the narrative progresses. The initial focus on completing household chores gives way to a more unsettling and disturbing experience in the second half.
Several reviewers highlighted the game's replayability, citing the presence of multiple endings and hidden secrets to uncover. The relatively short length (around an hour) also makes it easy for players to revisit and experiment with different approaches.
