Each playable character offers distinct advantages. Whether it’s brute force, agility, intelligence, or ingenuity, the mansion reacts differently depending on who you are:

• Firefighter: Can break barriers and clear hazards.
• Lockpicker: Accesses hidden areas and shortcuts.
• Psychologist: Helps stabilize teammates’ mental state.
• Inventor: Crafts tools and manipulates power sources.

Beware the Shift

The true enemy is not always seen. “The Shift” is a shadow entity that stalks the players using a mechanic called Shift Vision. It hunts based on sound, light, and movement. Players must navigate the ever-changing layout while managing resources like batteries, candles, and flashlights.

Core Features

• Procedurally generated mansion that reshuffles each game session
• Atmospheric tension with dynamic lighting and sound design
• Team-based mechanics that reward communication
• Solo or 4-player co-op with diverse roles
