The Developer Says...

Welcome everyone to 123 Slaughter Me Street! A criminal on the run, you find yourself evading police as you make your escape down an alley. You see an old fire escape and scramble up to the roof of an abandoned building; you are safe here. As the patrol cars drive past, you slip into the shadows.

Players Like...

❤ Unique Control Scheme and Limited Mobility

Players can only move forward and look left/right, with no ability to look behind them or freely explore the environment. This limited mobility creates a claustrophobic and tense atmosphere, as players must carefully navigate the halls while being hunted by the game's supernatural threats.

❤ Rhythmic Gameplay and Timing Challenges

Dealing with the three main antagonists - The Follower, who stalks the player relentlessly; The Greeter, who ambushes from unexpected angles; and The Waiter, who provides more telegraphed attacks - requires players to carefully time when to look in different directions to avoid their attacks. This creates a challenging, almost "dance-like" flow to the gameplay that players find addicting and rewarding to master.

❤ Unique Enemy Behaviors and Patterns

Each antagonist exhibits distinct behaviors and attack patterns that players must learn and adapt to. Navigating the timing and positioning required to evade these varied threats is a core part of the gameplay loop.

❤ Atmosphere and Environmental Storytelling

The dark, decrepit setting of the abandoned apartment complex, along with the ominous audio cues and unsettling creature designs, create an immersive sense of dread and unease. Discovering the cryptic lore and backstory through the environment adds an extra layer of intrigue, despite the basic graphics.

❤ Addictive Difficulty and Replayability

The steep learning curve and need to master the timing-based mechanics keep players engaged, with a strong sense of accomplishment upon overcoming the game's obstacles. The short length encourages repeated attempts and experimentation, contributing to the addictive nature of the gameplay.
