First-person survival game with psychological horror elements and strategic pause mechanics.

Gameplay Preview

Pause & Deserve Title

Game Overview

You play as a sinner trying to escape eternal punishment. Death chases you relentlessly through a surreal, nightmarish landscape. Using your 'pause' power, you can freeze Death momentarily to find better escape routes. Death becomes faster over time and every time you pause him, challenging your reflexes and strategy.

Relentless Chase

Death uses advanced pathfinding to navigate obstacles and adapts to your movements, creating an ever-present threat.

Strategic Pause

Temporarily freeze Death's movement to create escape opportunities. Each use has a cooldown and makes Death faster.

Dynamic Environment

The nightmare landscape shifts as time progresses—walls close in, pathways change, and lighting dims.

Survival Challenge

Endless survival game that tracks your best times and tests both reflexes and strategic thinking.

Design Philosophy

This project focuses on creating immersive tension through first-person perspective, intelligent AI behavior, and audio design that enhances the psychological horror atmosphere. The development emphasizes rapid prototyping and iterative design based on playtesting feedback.
