Dormant

About

Dormant is a first-person puzzle game that slowly tightens the screws on your nerves. You navigate a crumbling, windowless environment where flickering lights and muffled sounds make every step feel like a mistake waiting to happen. The puzzles aren't just about logic, they force you to confront the growing pressure of being trapped. Fixing a broken circuit might require ignoring the walls that seem to pulse closer with each breath you take. What lingers is the way the game mirrors its protagonist’s figuring out mind. The more you push forward, the more the space resists you, not with monsters or jump scares, but with the creeping sense that your own judgment is failing. Players report checking their surroundings twice for no reason, and a 78% positive review rate on early access builds suggest the tension hits most people right where it’s aimed.
