Project Night

About

Project Night is a survival horror game developed by Riccardo Deias and released in 2013. It tasks players with navigating dimly lit environments while managing scarce resources to survive against unseen threats. The gameplay emphasizes exploration and tension, with a focus on environmental storytelling and atmospheric design. Players move through a series of interconnected spaces, searching for clues and avoiding danger zones that trigger encounters. The game runs on PC, Mac, and Linux, with a single-player experience that leans heavily into 90s horror tropes like limited ammunition and flickering lights. Community reactions are split, with some praising its throwback approach but others criticizing technical issues and underdeveloped mechanics. A 3/10 review from a player who spent less than three hours highlights complaints about poor design choices and a lack of polish. While the project shows ambition in reviving retro horror elements, its execution has drawn mixed responses. The game remains available for those interested in experimenting with its vision, though expectations may vary based on community feedback.
