Silent Escape

You wake up in a warehouse. A sharp pain in the back of your head. When you run your hand over it, you feel a warm liquid. Blood. The sound of waves from outside and... a noise like fingernails slowly scraping across a blackboard. You have a new message: “Be quiet! Don’t let it hear you.”

Game Description

In this horror game, you take on the role of a survivor in a port area where a monster is on the loose. Escape over the high walls while constantly evading the monster.

It can never see you, but it has a keen sense of hearing and can smell fresh blood. Pay attention to the terrain, broken glass, and your movement speed. If you stay quiet, you won’t run into any trouble.
