The watcher V1.3
THE WATCHER
Something is wrong.
You were expecting a normal day. Instead, the power suddenly cuts out, the halls go silent, and something starts watching you from the darkness.
THE WATCHER is a first-person horror/puzzle game where youโll explore a mysterious facility, search for clues, interact with strange objects, solve puzzles, and try to figure out what happened before whatever is watching you finds you.
But here's the thing...
It doesn't always stay where you last saw it. ๐๏ธ
EXPLORE
Explore different parts of the facility, from silent corridors and dark maintenance rooms to massive archives and restricted security areas.
Look closely.
Listen carefully.
Check places you probably shouldn't.
Some things aren't going to reveal themselves unless you're actually looking for them.
SOLVE PUZZLES
Find keycards, discover hidden clues, restore power, unlock doors, search through archives, and piece together what happened inside the facility.
Not everything is going to be handed to you.
Sometimes the smallest detail might be the thing that saves you.
RUN.
There are moments where hiding isn't an option.
When things go wrong, RUN.
And don't expect to be the only one running...
NPCs
You're not completely alone.
Other people are trapped inside too, and they'll react to what's happening around them.
Sometimes they'll help you.
Sometimes they'll panic.
And sometimes...
they'll disappear.
SOMETHING IS WATCHING
The Watcher doesn't always attack.
Sometimes it just stands there.
Sometimes you'll see it at the end of a hallway.
Sometimes you turn around...
and it's gone.
The more you discover, the more you'll start wondering whether you're actually being hunted...
or whether you've been watched this entire time.
CHAPTERS
CHAPTER 1: SILENT CORRIDOR
The beginning.
The power is gone. The facility is silent. Something is already here.
CHAPTER 2: MAINTENANCE DARK
*Newly released*
CHAPTER 2 IS HERE YAY!
This is a fully finished version of chapter 2 where you run from the watcher as you go down a fight of stairs and have to find 10 clues while the monster is chasing after you. There are safe zones but in order to exit you will need to find 10 clues about the watcher and you will be able to exit
V1.3
CHAPTER 3: THE ARCHIVES
*Coming soon*
Old records. Missing information. Answers that probably should've stayed buried.
V1.? Early September...
CHAPTER 4: SECURITY BREACH
The facility isn't under control anymore.
RUN.
CHAPTER 5: WHAT STARES BACK
You finally find out what has been watching.
And it might not be what you expected.
WORK IN PROGRESS
THE WATCHER IS STILL VERY MUCH A WORK IN PROGRESS!

Some mechanics might get completely changed.
That's the point.
You're basically playing the game while it's being built.
If you find a bug, weird glitch, broken puzzle, NPC walking into a wall, or a door that has decided it no longer believes in physics...
PLEASE REPORT IT. ๐ญ
This project is constantly being worked on, and there's a lot more planned.

So if you play it now, remember:

And whatever you do...
don't trust the quiet.
