About The Killer
What Is the Game About:
In recent weeks, the once peaceful of Oak City have turned into the hunting grounds of a merciless predator, leaving behind a trail of fear and death. Authorities urgently advise residents to stay indoors after dark. Remember: Do not go out at night!
This is an immersive puzzle adventure that will test your wits and courage. As you navigate through the enigmatic and eerie atmosphere of a company in the Oak City, you must solve intricate puzzles and unlock chained escape rooms to survive. Each room presents a unique challenge, requiring keen observation and clever solutions to advance.
This four chapters journey will take you through dark office, sequential rooms and hidden underground passages, each shrouded in mystery and danger. The deeper you delve, the closer you come to uncovering the full extent of the predator’s evil scheme. Will you uncover the truth and escape the shadows of Oak City, or will you become the next victim of the night? The fate of Oak City rests in your hands.
Designer's Comment:
As an indie game designer, creating this game has been a deeply personal and rewarding journey. The idea for this game was inspired by classic thriller movies which captivated me with their intense atmospheres and intricate plot twists. One of the most memorable moments during development was designing the sequential escape rooms. Each room had to be unique, challenging, and seamlessly integrated into the story. I spent countless nights perfecting the mechanics to ensure that players would feel a true sense of accomplishment with every puzzle solved. I hope you enjoy playing this game as much as I enjoyed creating it. Thank you for your support, and happy gaming!

Another title in a series of short and basic horror indie that would fit better as part of the publisher’s horror anthology bundle. Disclaimer: This game is similar to the publisher’s other titles. It runs on the same engine, has the same mechanics, and sometimes even shares assets. That’s why the same review – except for the story – can be applied to all titles. The first thing you'll notice is that when you start the game for the first time, it will download additional resources. It takes a few minutes and does not mention what the download includes. I am assuming it is the Yahaha horror kit, which is an engine that powers all Yahaha studios games. The plot is basic. One night, while returning home from work, a crazy doctor rushes out of an alley and drags you to his playground. You wake up in a cell and must solve a few simple challenges to get free. This is simple because it involves picking up items and placing them in the appropriate locations. While things and notes are not highlighted, the appropriate locations are marked when you hold the correct item in your hand and get close enough. Each of the four chapters takes place in a distinct location, yet they are all ve…5 found this helpful

Great concept for a game that either was a "jam" type development or just simply ran out of resources to continue on. The story, while it has an interesting twist at the end, just goes from nothing to something in the last 10 seconds of the game. There were a couple of jumpscares which were well placed. The puzzles were not very imaginative/difficult at all. Seemed more like chores than puzzles. Overall, if you're looking for a good horror experience, check it out. If you wanted a more fleshed out horror game with a complete story and longer than an hour, keep looking.1 found this helpful
there were some fun ideas and mechanics in the game, nothing too scary, but it was suspenseful enough for what it set out to bve. it was rather short, but that was advertised, and i'd compare it to a good episode on a suspense series that should be fleshed out into a feature-length movie! i bought the game as part of a bundle.
The Killer is a good game! I can't wait to see more done with it. 10/10
This game...was...interesting. I wouldn't particularly call it scary but it did remind me of Saw, which in those circumstances would be pretty scary. I did enjoy the graphics to this game, it was pretty short but that was probably good. I did really enjoy the twist at the end, maybe a little bit predictable but otherwise very good. I think this is more of a funny game rather than scary.
