Players must figure out a way to properly fortify their home against each night's new danger, as they learn the truth behind the apocalypse and search for a way to safety, if one exists.

Players will journey alongside David, a lone survivor after the end of the world, who finds himself having prophetic dreams... or nightmares. Each chapter of the game has multiple potential variations to encounter, from poisonous fog or spiders to a gang of murderous thugs or a deadly heat wave, and as a result, you'll need to adjust your strategy on different playthroughs.

Logical puzzles and exploration to challenge players without frustrating them. Time mechanics; certain actions advance the clock in a race against time.A post-apocalyptic thriller, with an engaging storyline and cast. Moody and engrossing original musical score.…
