Flashlight Nightmare!
On a pitch-black, moonless night, May decides to explore the abandoned house at the end of her street. She’s heard all kinds of horror stories - it’s full of ghosts, it’ll crumble on her, it’s inhabited by bloodthirsty bats - but her curiosity could never prepare her for the truth. The moment she steps foot in the house, she’s ambushed by a shadowy figure and trapped in a labyrinth with only one instruction: survive.
Flashlight Nightmare! employs procedurally generated music, NPCs with unique dialogue options that give hints about the labyrinth, and a flashlight upgrade system to improve your chances of survival. Fight your way to safety with nothing more than the very phone your captor left you with all before sunrise, or risk becoming a mindless monster roaming the halls of the labyrinth forever!
