panoptique

About the Game

Stuck in an endless living prison, all you can do is run.

panoptique is a surreal survival horror game where every level is working against you. The Prison, the structure you find yourself stuck in, is alive, and it has only one goal in mind: keep you for itself, forever.

Navigate the maze-like rooms of The Prison in this stressful first-person-shooter, one floor after another, and face against the horrors it holds.

Outsmart an intelligent structure — In panoptique, your greatest enemy is the game's setting itself. The Prison is an intelligent and dynamic threat with control over every room in the game. Experience true terror as the levels rearrange themselves around you, leading shambling monsters your way as It gets angrier and deadlier the longer you remain here.

Manage your resources — Use your gun to force open locked doors, or save the ammunition to deal with The Prison's many inmates. Try not to panic as your inventory gets smaller and smaller, filled with the keys necessary to escape one floor into the next. Did that item always look like that?

Uncover the secrets of The Prison — As you go through its floors, some created by hand and others procedurally generated, meet the only person left willing to talk to you. Maybe with their help, you'll learn more about this place. And maybe, with their help, you'll even escape the inescapable... or stay imprisoned forever.
