You play as one of several captives held in a remote house by a maniac. The goal is to find a way out while avoiding his attention.
Explore rooms, search for useful objects, and solve environmental puzzles to open a route onward. Your actions can leave clues behind, so you must put things back and return to your cage before the maniac investigates; he can also react to sounds.
The game is divided into four chapters featuring different victims. Their stories connect across chapters, and players can uncover secrets and alternate endings as they progress.
Players often praise the puzzles and the distinctive need to erase signs of an escape attempt before the maniac checks the house. Reviews also highlight the tense atmosphere and connections between chapters. Some players find the experience short, while others describe particular puzzles or chapters as difficult or frustrating.
