This is the free demo. One floor of the nine, generated fresh every time, with a monster on it and a night that runs out. The full game is a tower: nine floors, one fifteen-minute night, and an ending you have to reach before dawn.

How to play

  • Arrow keys or WASD — walk and turn
  • On a phone — the buttons under the view
  • The map draws only where you have been
  • Something in here is blind, and listens

Contains sudden loud sounds and sharp changes from dark to bright.
