Logline

Weary of sending worker after worker into a warehouse where cursed notes reappear daily, the company hires yet another disposable recruit. Armed only with a wirelessly powered flashlight tethered to an unreliable generator, the recruit must venture into the darkness — where destroying the notes may only provoke the lurking presence.

Game Preview

Win Condition

Player 1: Find and collect 8 cursed notes scattered across the map, then burn them.

Player 2: Maintain the generator by feeding it combustible items. If it powers down, all lights fail and the ghost is unleashed.

• Lights & flashlights are tied to generator power.
• Safe room is only safe while generator runs.
• With power out, the ghost roams freely at higher speed .

Traversal System

Movement is momentum-based, heavily inspired by Mirror’s Edge parkour:

• Wall running: Run along walls to evade or bypass obstacles.
• Sliding: Get under obstacles, accelerate through gaps.
• Vaulting & climbing: Traverse shelves, boxes, machinery.
• Momentum chaining: Faster continuous running & wall interactions build speed .

Items

• Flashlight: Toggle with F. Works only while generator has fuel.
• Burnable Items: Feed generator or burn collected notes.
• Notes: Collectibles; must be burned to progress.
• Medkit: Revives a downed player, but consumes the one-item slot .

Monster – Ghost AI

• Head Start Timer: Ghost stays inactive briefly at round start.
• Roaming Mode: Patrols slowly until a player is detected.
• Chase Mode: Accelerates on sight; faster per burned note; extreme speed if generator is off.
• Abilities: Door slams, phasing through walls, can’t enter generator room if powered.
• Player Proximity Effects: Chromatic aberration, screen darkening, heartbeat sounds .

Environment

The warehouse map is designed to amplify tension:

• Narrow hallways, cluttered shelves, machinery obstacles.
• Small rooms with randomized item spawns each game.
• Generator Room: A temporary safe zone lit only while powered .

Sound Design

• Ambient: Creepy environmental drones.
• Movement: Footsteps vary by surface, sliding/vaulting sounds.
• Monster Aggro: Audio cue when ghost detects player.
• Spatial: Echo and reverb in hallways.
• Generator & Fire: Hum, crackle, ominous shutdowns.
• Flashlight: Clicks on toggle.
• Player Fear: Breathing, heartbeat intensify when hunted .
