The Old Gentleman

About

A brief point-and-click horror game where you rely on Morse code to stay alive. Trapped on an abandoned ship with a crewmate you can’t see but must trust, you tap out messages to guide them while evading a lurking predator. The tension comes from timing your signals just right, too slow, and the creature closes in. Too fast, and your crewmate might misread your panic. Simple mechanics lean into the claustrophobic fear of miscommunication. The Old Gentleman stands out for turning a niche communication method into its core horror loop. Players praise how the ticking clock and staticky transmissions amplify every decision. At under two hours, it’s a tight thrill ride that uses sparse dialogue and creaking environments to keep you uneasy. Early reviews highlight its clever use of audio cues and the way it twists isolation into a gameplay strength.
