Shut

Are you a recluse? Or a vampire? Or just a regular introvert? This game is for you.

You're trapped within The Facility, a realm of rooms penetrated by perpetual sunset. With a fatal sensitivity to light, the sun's glow is a slow-motion execution. Your only objective is a full blackout. But in the calming darkness of the shadows lurk the Remnants, shadow-creatures who see the light as salvation. 

Engage in a tense game of hide-and-seek in this action/puzzler, where you must strategically use the light to defeat the Remnants, all while desperately shielding yourself from its deadly toll. You will quickly cultivate a love-hate relationship with sunlight.

How to play

This is a fully functional single level demo. Features or gameplay elements may be added in the future.

• Your objective is to shut all windows in The Facility. 
• Make sure there are no Remnants in a room before you shut its last window, otherwise the Remnant will insta-kill you.
• A Remnant is only visible and dissolvable under direct sunlight.
• Avoid sunlight. You suffer from extreme sensitivity to light. Exposure to light drains your soul. Direct sunlight drains it much faster.
• Replenish your soul by waiting (RMB) in a completely shut room. All windows and all doors must be shut.

Hints

• To search for a Remanat in a room, shift the sunlight by waiting (RMB).
• A room may or may not contain a Remnant. The starting room is safe.
• A Remnant will engage only when you shut all windows in the room.
• Click on a visible part of a Remnant to dissolve it.
• A hiding Remnant never moves and never leaves its room.
• If you're quick, you can escape an attacking Remnant. Leave the room before the last window is done shutting. Returning to the room will be deadly.
• If there are too few windows in a room, open some doors to let the light from other rooms in.
• The more window area in a room, the greater the light exposure.
• A room with all windows shut has zero exposure.
• You can replenish your soul by waiting (RMB) in a completely shut room. All windows and all doors must be shut.
• More exposure drains your soul faster.
• Avoid direct sunlight. It greatly increases exposure.
