The Beast

It does not chase what it can stalk.

Enter the abandoned Blackridge boarding house with a flashlight, a six-shot revolver, and one objective: kill the Beast before it reaches your blind side.

The hunt

The Beast is a compact first-person horror FPS built around one relentless encounter. Search the rotting rooms and blind passageways of a long-abandoned home, listen for movement beyond the walls, collect scarce ammunition, and make every shot count. Two direct hits will bring the creature down—but seeing it only makes it run, hide, and find another route behind you.

The farther you press into the house, the more the soundscape closes in. Distant calls move between rooms, footsteps cross unseen corridors, and close warnings arrive only when the Beast is already near. If it catches you, the world gives way to a rapid nightmare of distorted images and sound.
