https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1258590/extras/TestGIF2.gif
The game Locked Up (The first project of EMIKA_GAMES) - is a psychological thriller in the first person.
Average time to complete the game: 120 minutes
WARNING: Epileptic seizures associated with increased sensitivity to light are Possible. Some people may experience seizures when exposed to flashes of light and flashing images that appear in a video game. People who have not previously experienced such attacks may not be aware of their illness. A reasonable restriction of the game audience is recommended.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The main focus of the game is on exploring the environment in a closed space, which will change after interacting with it. Rely on your intuition and carefully study the details of the game. Over time, the tension will increase, creating an effect of insanity. The plot is not revealed linearly, almost without notes in the game world.
This game is not suitable for those who are looking for a dynamic horror with action elements and a fast-paced plot.
The game takes place in a house where terrible events occurred earlier. You will have to repeatedly wander along the same corridor in order to uncover the causes of insanity and understand who you are. Be patient, and the house will open previously locked doors and show you frightening memories of the past. The narrative of the story is transmitted through the environment in a measured rhythm. Each item tells a story, relying on your imagination.

The demo version is a prequel to the main story and acts as an independent free game that tells the story of a family living long before the events that occur in the main game.

Decent game About an hour and 30 mins long. More atmospheric than jumpy. But some good jumpscares.
The atmosphere is great for hallway game. Problem with the game like many others is the searching everywhere to get the clue to continue the game. This makes its less of a horror experience then a puzzle game. I got stuck half way and looked up the walkthrough and still the camera did not unlock me to go forward. Disapointing Im sure its a bug but its easy to get out of the horror when a simple mecahinc should be working. I get why people like these older games lots of puzzles but for me way to much hope this helps someone who enjoys horror more then puzzles.
Locked Up, developed and published by EMIKA_GAMES, is a psychological horror experience that builds its identity around confinement, ambiguity, and slow-burning dread rather than conventional gameplay systems. It places the player inside a seemingly ordinary house that gradually reveals itself to be anything but stable, turning familiar spaces into shifting, unreliable environments. Rather than guiding you through a clearly structured narrative, the game prefers to unsettle and disorient, leaving much of its meaning buried beneath subtle environmental changes and fragmented clues. The premise is intentionally vague, offering only fragments of context as you explore. You move through a series of rooms and corridors, interacting with objects and triggering events that slowly reshape your surroundings. The house itself feels alive in a quiet, unsettling way—hallways loop back on themselves, doors lead to unexpected places, and spaces you thought you understood begin to change without warning. There is very little direct explanation of what is happening or why, and that absence of clarity becomes part of the experience. The game asks you to pay attention, to notice small details, and …
So locked up.. This game definitely was terrifying.. Old house, small hallways.. The atmosphere was really present, the game is a bit back and fourth but I think it matches the style. There were not much parts I really jumpscares from, but the overall terrifying feeling was very well present.
