Pyromaniac

In 2009, 20-year-old Nikolas Rendl wakes on a bench near a bus stop in an unfamiliar city with no memory of how he got there. He must explore its cold streets and uncover what is happening.

Across five chapters, players explore locations, search for keys and other items to open paths, solve environmental puzzles, and defend Nikolas from scorched monsters with available weapons.

The game includes collectibles, four endings, and unlockable hoodies and gloves. Completing the game unlocks Hard Mode.

Players who enjoy the game often single out its bleak city atmosphere, soundtrack, and eerie exploration, with some highlighting the forest sections and the story’s gradual revelations. Fans of old-school first-person horror tend to appreciate its short, focused format. Other reviewers find it too similar to Cry of Fear, too brief, or let down by clunky combat and unclear objectives, so reactions to its story and overall execution are mixed.
