DON'T FACE UP

DON'T FACE UP is a first-person psychological horror game developed and published by tesakiza that builds its entire experience around a deceptively simple rule: never look directly at what is hunting you. While many horror games rely on loud jump scares, combat encounters, or constant pursuit sequences, this title chooses a more restrained and unsettling approach. It focuses on psychological discomfort, environmental tension, and the fear of the unknown, creating an experience that feels more disturbing the longer it lingers in the player's mind.

A really creepy experince, and an interesting story and cool character designs!

good indie horror game

BEFORE YOU PLAY The game is decent if not good, but some puzzle are not well explained or the solution is wrong (the chair puzzle). So I suggest you to try, but I also suggest to not be too stubborn and search for a solution if the puzzle is too unclear even with hints. It should happen at worst twice but it can be annoying (those were 13 chairs damn you)

Scary? not really. Bonkers? WAY more than you think if you stick with it. the only major issue is this is one of the worst localization jobs ever in a game that really needed it to be at least competent since there is so much story and text.

A neat free and unique puzzle horror game. Has a pretty cool, interesting lore and story about SCP-like facility with anomalies and a local analog of MTF, and some smart puzzles with spooks. The universe and the characters of the game seem to be expanded upon in the author's next game, so check it out, it's free too.
