“Nyctophobia: Devil Unleashed” puts you in the shoes of a young girl embarking on a Christmas challenge — to investigate a supposedly abandoned asylum alone.

Your objective is clear, yet harrowing: escape the building alive and unearth the dark secrets that have been festering within the asylum’s walls for far too long.
The game boasts a massive map, spanning a house, a forest, and the ominous asylum itself, ensuring a sprawling and immersive horror experience. Players will rely on a trusty flashlight and even a camcorder with night vision to navigate the suffocating darkness, adding layers of vulnerability and suspense. “Nyctophobia” aims for a realistic horror experience, meticulously crafting an atmosphere designed to induce chills and anxiety, truly embodying the feeling of being alone in a haunted place.
Since its launch on Steam in July 2021, “Nyctophobia: Devil Unleashed” has been steadily gaining traction, garnering mixed but generally positive reviews from players who appreciate its indie charm and terrifying ambiance. It’s a single-player, point-and-click psychological horror that promises to keep you on the edge of your seat.

It’s more than just a game; it’s a testament to the power of a single vision, proving that Filipino indie developers are more than capable of crafting compelling and genuinely frightening experiences. Dive into the darkness, if you dare.
