❤ Reactive Sandbox Environment

The game features a living, reactive sandbox environment where the player's actions have meaningful consequences. As players progress and fail, the house becomes more dangerous, with new security measures like security cameras and traps, as well as the killer's behavior adapting accordingly. This creates a dynamic, ever-evolving challenge that forces players to constantly adapt their stealth strategies.

❤ Tense Stealth-focused Survival

At the core of the gameplay is a tense, stealth-focused survival experience. Players must carefully navigate the house, hiding from and avoiding the relentless serial killer, known as "The Butcher". The killer's AI is described as smart and unpredictable, quickly reacting to the player's movements and actions by appearing without warning or using the house's traps against them. This forces players to rely on stealth, hiding in shadows and using the environment to their advantage to evade the killer.

❤ Exploration and Puzzle-solving Depth

Progression involves thoroughly exploring the interconnected, multi-level house, solving a variety of puzzles, and gathering the necessary items and tools to aid in the player's escape. The house is filled with secrets and alternate paths for players to discover through careful observation and problem-solving. Players must pay close attention to their surroundings and use their wits to unlock new areas and overcome obstacles.

❤ Limited Resources Increase Tension

Resource management is a crucial aspect of the gameplay, as items and supplies are limited. This adds an extra layer of tension, as players must decide whether to use a valuable item, like a lockpick or revolver bullets, to aid their escape or save it for later. Effective inventory management can mean the difference between life and death.

❤ Unforgiving Difficulty Demands Skill

The game is widely praised for its challenging and unforgiving difficulty, where death often results in significant setbacks, such as the killer adapting new security measures or items being moved or disappearing. Players have a limited number of lives, and the high-stakes, high-tension experience demands the player's full attention and skill to overcome.
