🎭 About the Game

You're about your nightly routine—until a mysterious package arrives. Inside it, something supernatural lurks—something that must be constantly watched to keep it contained. Manage your stress, avoid losing control, and escape your home before it’s too late.

🧩 Core Features

• 👁️ Watch the entity: If you don’t look at the box, the creature moves.
• 😣 Blinking mechanic: The player blinks over time.
• 💡 Environment control: Turn on lights or use phone flashlight to observe the entity indirectly.
• 🔦 Phone flashlight: You can use your phone flashlight, but it has limited battery.
• 🚪 Escape your home: You are trapped in the house and must flee while avoiding the entity.
