Test of Courage

About

Test of Courage drops you into the decaying halls of an empty school hunting for missing friends. You collect 10 scattered items while tracking clues about their disappearance. Environmental puzzles block progress and the longer you linger the more unstable your perspective becomes. Shadows twist unnaturally and sounds echo unpredictably making it hard to trust what you see. The game emphasizes slow careful movement over action with exploration driving both the narrative and tension. The sanity mechanic stands out most, glitches grow more frequent as stress rises warping visuals and audio. It creates a constant tug of war between pressing forward and conserving mental clarity. While not graphically intense the audio design and environmental storytelling earned it a 72% on Metacritic from 2020 critics. Smaller indie horror fans looking for something methodical over jump scares might find its quiet dread memorable. The single player campaign takes 4, 6 hours with optional challenges for replayability.
