About 13 Steps
Find a way out in this horror/time loop Game. Hide, run, and uncover the mysteries of the "EOS Complex" as you are pursued by the automated security bots gone rogue. They only move when you do, and you have limited steps before the loop restarts.
So tread carefully, every step could be your last.
Make Every Step Count
Every step you make counts down to 0, solving the mystery of the facility before you run out is essential to your survival. If you do run out, you will be forced back to where you began, you'll keep any items and knowledge, but the world resets.
Tread Softly, Tread Tactically
You are being hunted The security of EOS can only move when you do, use this knowledge to tactically evade, hide and strategize your way out of certain death. You can peak around corners, hide in lockers and sneak out of line of sight, as you gain more tools and knowledge of their behavior you'll become more and more adept at avoiding their pursuit.Shadow Step
The Shadow step technology allows you to instantaneously move from one point to another, allowing you to move safety from cover to cover, or to location you would otherwise not be able to reach. Use it wisely though, your uses are limited each loop and you wouldn't want to be cornered without it.
Messages from the past
The halls of EOS tell a story, if you listen closely you can uncover the true intentions of the facility and what's really transpired. Escaping is one thing, but how you escape will determine the fate of the facility and people you leave behind. Make every step count, you never know when it will be your last.

✦ AI summary
Players praise 13 Step's atmospheric tension and clever core mechanic where time only flows when moving, creating genuinely scary moments with the threatening enemy encounters. The main complaints center on the punishing save system that forces extensive replays, the non-removable camera filter, and minor performance and UI issues, which some feel outweigh the game's strengths enough to warrant waiting for a sale.
Short and sweet little horror game based around a cool mechanic executed well. The fact that time stops when you're not moving doesn't do much to deter a sense of impending doom as you cautiously lean around the corner, looking for an enemy waiting to catch you unawares. Honestly surprised I've not heard of this game before now, if you're reading this give it a go 👍6 found this helpful
13 Step is a a solid Indie game with a surprisingly good atmosphere that keeps the player constantly looking out for danger. The "Sharkboi" has a genuinely threatening presence and can lead to very tense and terrifying gameplay moments. There are some very minor performance issues and spelling mistakes in the UI, but nothing game breaking to take the player from the experience that the game provides. Overall, fantastic game and hope the very best for the developer/s with this game's future.4 found this helpful

Lost 1 year off my life each time I was chased by a shark bot. Gained 10 years every time I found a shark plush. Worth!2 found this helpful
the game itself is classic hide and seek, with a very strong Five Nights At Freddy Security Breach inspiration. The dynamics of time that flows only if you move is interesting, minus the save system and the camera visual filter (which I personally have always hated but which cannot be removed here). In fact, however, it is so punishing that I have played very few in several months. Perhaps it would be better to buy it on sale. il gioco in sè è il classico nasconditi e cerca, con una fortissima ispirazione ai Five Nights At Freddy Security Breach. La dinamica del tempo che scorre solo se ci si muove è interessante, meno il sistema di save e il filtro visivo da telecamera (che io personalmente ho sempre odiato ma che qui non si può togliere). Di fatto però è talmente punitivo che ci ho giocato pochissimi in diversi mesi. Forse sarebbe meglio comprarlo in saldo.
Im hooked. Just wish there was a way to regain Integrity as there is no way im redoing everything from scratch. I hate redoing things in video games.
