About Peripheral
Peripheral is a short, high-intensity psychological horror experience. Explore the library after closing, return the books, and try to survive against the Wardens, eerie statue entities that freeze when you look at them but stalk you the moment you turn away.
Return the Books
Your goal is simple: pick up a book from the return slot, find its shelf, and return it. But with every book, the difficulty escalates as the Wardens grow more relentless. Every book raises the stakes: shelves are sabotaged, lights go out, and statues come to life. Can you return all seven books before the Wardens return you?Beware the Wardens
The Wardens only move when you look away. Keep them in your peripheral vision to stay alive. Look directly at them for too long or get too close, and your senses distort as fear overwhelms you.Light and Fear
Your flashlight is your lifeline. As you progress, the library is plunged into darkness, forcing you to rely on your limited beam of light. Use your flashlight to navigate the library, but beware looking at the signs for too long, something might creep up behind you.Uncover the Library’s Secrets

Short and simple, yet the tension builds and it scared the heck out of me. Play in the dark if you dare.5 found this helpful
Such a fun game. Short and scary. The library is uniquely eerie and the enemies are super creepy. Each level progressively induces more adrenaline and each play-through is different and challenging. 5 stars across the board.4 found this helpful
Short, simple, and challenging. A fun little game to test how fast you can beat it while trying not to get jump scared. The game ran well and had a very easy objective. Can be completed in 30-45 minutes, or challenge yourself to a speedrun.3 found this helpful
Lots of fun! Goal is simple but very challenging. I know this library better than my local one.2 found this helpful
I played this game for a couple of hours. The game is actually simple, but it delivers the scares and suspense you look for in these types of games. I really enjoyed it. I wish the image of the child when he catches you would move; that would make it even scarier. The sound design is very good and fits the game's atmosphere perfectly. Overall, a very good game, I recommend it.
