About Cease To Breathe
The Game
Cease to Breathe isn't some eighty hour epic with realistic looking graphics. No, it's more of a love letter to an era of gaming that I hold very dear to my own heart. If you remember sitting in front of a giant CRT monitor, painstakingly trying to beat games like Uninvited, Deja Vu, Shadowgate, WIlly Beamish, Police Quest or Ultima Vii, chances are you'll appreciate this game.The Plot
After plunging your car balls deep into a tree on the side of the road, you find yourself in front of an old colonial house in the middle of nowhere. The door is wide open and a storm is fast approaching. While the sane, logical thing to do would be to sit tight and wait for help, you do the complete opposite and head inside where you're greeted by a few unsolved, albeit recent, murders, hundreds of interactive objects and an incomprehensible mystery just begging to be solved.The ... Other Stuff
Don't expect the game to hold your hand... it won't.Instead, embrace the freedom of being able to examine, punch and ingest just about anything that crosses your path. Do it for the LOLZ. It's cheaper than therapy! Hell, it's only $5.00! Truth be told, if you're as old as me, you've probably wondered why developers didn't continue to make these types of tongue-in-cheek adventure games.So come on, what are you waiting for? Buy now and get endless objects that do nothing, hours of frustration, and a narration that pokes fun at all the stupid and idiotic things you'll end up doing. Our operators are standing by!What Steam players say

If point and click is your thing, this is for you. I thoroughly enjoyed this game, I put off going for another ending until the achievements are fixed, but I grabbed it on sale so I got way more then my dollar's worth out of it just from all the objects that caught a beautiful right hook ^.^1 found this helpful
Cease to Breathe is a total surprise and a blast to play. It’s like a modern take on the classic Shadowgate and Uninvited, with that same eerie vibe and tricky puzzles. I snagged it for just a buck, but honestly, I would've easily paid ten times that for the fun I had. If you’re into old-school point-and-click adventures, you’ll love this. And seriously, developer — make a sequel. Please. I'm begging you.1 found this helpful
Drawer-and-cabinet-opening simulator, many with nothing inside. Fun! The kitchen alone has 19 things to open. So I can "hit" the basement pipe to make it leak, but I can't do the same with the axe or hammer? Nonsense. I try to use the axe on the panel in the closet, and I get a "That doesn't work!" response. Why not? The "you are dead" screen takes too long. Despite the 2.0 release having "Spelling and Grammar fixes", there are still several typos. I've counted 22 so far. In a game like this, the text is very important, so there simply can't be typos. The writer's use of things like "yeet" and "fo' reals" ruins any chance the game has at maintaining a spooky atmosphere.1 found this helpful
I feel a lot of nostalgia playing this. classics like Uninvited, Deja Vu, Shadowgate all spring to mind. Its obvious that the developer created this with such games in their heart and mind. If you love the old point and click adventures this game is a must buy and you cant beat the price. Thank you Scribed Skull Studios!1 found this helpful
It's a little bit too subtle at times... but if you like figuring out games like Shadowgate, Deja Vu and etc, this is a game for you.
