About Don't Hide

Trapped in a maze with a beast, you must find five keys and their door to escape. The monster can only smell and hear you, but as long as it hasn't fully caught your scent, you can move freely.

Don't Hide offers a horror experience where you're forced to manage the monster and explore the surroundings. Nothing is easy to find, as you'll always be surrounded by dreadful darkness. You'll be left searching for five barely illuminated keys, all scattered around the maze. However, your time is limited, as the creature trapped in the maze with you will will eventually catch your scent. Be sure to run away when close, and if it hasn't fully caught your scent, hide to get it off your tracks.

Don't Hide offers 6 different levels, all with varying difficulty and predetermined initial key, object, and exit door locations. A 3 star system will help rank your performance in each room. At least one star is required to progress to the next room.

Developed in Godot, this game was a side project of mine that I learned along with Godot. Updates may proceed the release with more levels, objects, or features. Its more than likely that I will release balance changes as well as more and more people play the game and test out the ranking system as well as the minor and major time (scent) limits.

Controls:
WASD = movement
Space = hide
Escape = open/close menu (pauses game), or go back to previous menu
Enter/Left Click = Select

Objectives
Find all five keys
With 5 Keys, find the exit door
Don't get caught by the creature

"Don't Hide" is a simple tech demo of a game, a basic 2D top down retro pixel (ugh) maze exploration where you're in the dark... collect the keys, avoid the monster, find the exit, rinse and repeat. This would have been considered a really phenomenal game... in 1987. Unfortunately, it is not 1987. This was published in 2022 alongside Elden Ring, Stray, and A Plague Tale: Requiem. And, apparently, the developers thought this was on par with those. I don't agree. What do you do in the game? It really is just a matter of moving around, avoiding being detected by the monster, collecting the keys, and leaving. The best part about this game is when you uninstall it. The lack of customizable controls is a significant drawback. This decision makes the game potentially unplayable for gamers with physical disabilities, left-handed players, or those using non-QWERTY keyboard layouts like AZERTY. This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks mu…

very nice game, it trully has a horror element due to the lack of visual capability and the act that the monster will chase you down and you are getting blocked by the obstacles as you are THIS close to the exit is trully an adrenalin pumping experience
