We Love It's Guide to…

PANICORE

You play as an urban explorer trapped in an abandoned place with unknown creatures inside. Go alone or cooperate with others to find a way out. Search rooms and corridors for useful items, solve puzzles, and use what you find to open an exit. Each location offers multiple escape routes, while hiding places and distractions can help you avoid a pursuing monster. Monsters can react to footsteps, other noise, and players’ voices, making sound part of the stealth challenge. Choose a difficulty, explore different locations, and collect documents or achievements; reviews also mention unlockable character skins.

Explore abandoned buildings alone or with up to four others, solve escape puzzles, and evade monsters drawn to sound.
