ZENOMATRIX Demo

Horror games, among other things, are all about the lack of information, they're about keeping the player in the dark, both thematically and literally, but also mechanically, while puzzles, by design, are required to communicate all the information the player could possibly need, in order for them to be solvable, which is why, even though puzzles feature heavily in horror games, they are always separate from the horror, and are used as either a filler, or distraction.

But, what if the WILLING acquisition and relinquishment of information, was both the main puzzle mechanic, AND the main horror element?

What if the monster was both a threat to be overcome, but also a puzzle to be solved?

Navigate a surreal realm inspired by early 90's CGI ("Silicon Dreams") experiments in first-person as you engage in conundrums against creatures that only move to attack when not directly observed.

The full game will include story, more worlds & mechanics as well as an easy-to-use puzzle editor for making and sharing custom levels.

WISHLIST the game on Steam to be notified when it releases.
