About

"12 Hours" is an indie horror game with a first-person perspective, where players are trapped in a terrifying and realistic lucid dream. The goal is to find a way to wake up while avoiding a creepy creature, as the level is randomly generated each time. The early version of the game includes a large level, enemies, a creepy atmosphere, and story-driven mini-quests.

    • “Avoiding the enemies happens more by luck than judgment, leading to a game experience that is more frustrating than challenging.”
