Psychosis: Teaser

About

You play as someone getting a late-night call about a family disappearance in the Pacific Northwest. What starts as a creepy investigation spirals into a nightmare where reality bends and you’re hunted by twisted figures. Use whatever you can find to fight back in a mix of frantic gunplay and environmental puzzles. The retro-styled world feels broken in a deliberate way, with glitchy visuals that add to the unease. Every sound and shadow feels threatening in this 60-minute blast of tension. The game’s short length doesn’t let up on the pressure. Player reviews note the art style and audio design stick out, the screeching metal voice in the opening scene is especially memorable. While the story leaves some questions, the tight pacing and sudden bursts of horror keep things gripping. A 4.5/5 average on Steam suggests it’s a quick but effective scare for fans of atmospheric indie games.

Storyline

It's nearly midnight and you're bored doing overtime at work, at your small office in the rural Pacific Northwest. The dull silence is cut by a phone call from a man with a familiar voice. The gruff voice urges you to "come quickly, they're all gone." Disturbed, you get in your car, and suddenly you're standing in the dimly lit foyer of someone's home. The place is empty, like everyone just got up and left. There's an awful stench in the air but you can't make out what it is. All you can hear is the sound of the wind and tree branches crashing against the side of the house, and a faint ticking noise. Suddenly you feel an icy cold presence shoot through your body as your vision fades and your body washes with fear. You're paralyzed lying on the reeking, damp ground; through half-open eyes you see a tall figure wielding a harsh blade standing over you. The being opens its mouth as if to speak and all that comes out is the blood-curdling screeching of metal on metal. ~ When a family goes missing and you receive a mysterious phone call, all hell breaks loose as you are plunged into an expansive world where demons hunt you down and logic is turned inside out. Battle with the shreds of your own humanity through an hour of mind-breaking gameplay packed with combat, puzzles and mystery.
