Core Gameplay Loop
You begin confined in a metal cage; the maniac patrols the house and can hear your actions. To progress you must explore, manipulate objects, and locate an exit while staying silent.
When the maniac arrives, he checks the cage and the surrounding area. If any evidence of your escape—such as an opened box or door—remains, he punishes you with an electric shock to the cage.
- Observe the maniac’s patrol timing before moving objects.
- Return to the cage and hide any changes before he checks.
