Synopsis

The school had been closed for decades—forgotten, abandoned, and left to decay. The town spoke of it only in whispers, and those who dared venture near its rusted gates swore they heard something inside. Shuffling footsteps. Ragged breathing. The wet slap of something inhuman crawling through the dark.

They say the infection started in 1993, during an ordinary school lunch. No one knows exactly what was tainted—the mystery meat, the milk cartons, or maybe the mashed potatoes that always smelled slightly off. But whatever it was, it changed them.

It turned them.

By the time the janitor discovered the first student twitching, convulsing on the floor, the infection had already spread to half the cafeteria. Teachers tried to lock the doors, but the children inside weren’t children anymore. They had become something else.

Their faces withered. Their eyes melted away. Their skin turned ashen gray, like the life had been drained from their bodies. Their mouths stretched open, but no lips remained—just an endless void where their screams should have been. They did not die. They did not stop.

They walked.

The school was condemned after the Deadwalker Outbreak of ‘93, and for years, the town kept it quiet. But some say the creatures still roam the halls, forever searching for something they lost.

Now, you’re here.

Gameplay Features

Survival Mechanics

  • You are nameless—no identity, no memory of how you got here. But you must escape before the timer runs out.
  • The school is massive, with dozens of classrooms, hallways, and hidden passageways to explore.
  • Your only tools:
    • A flashlight – essential but dangerous. The Deadwalkers see light.
    • A gun – with extremely limited ammo. Miss a shot? You’ll regret it.
    • A bat – silent, but you have to get close. Too close.
  • Stealth is your best friend. Keep noises to a bare minimum. The Deadwalkers detect sound and will hunt you if they hear you.

The Deadwalkers

  • Appearance:

    • Grey, faceless monsters with elongated limbs.
    • Their mouths stretch too wide, revealing endless darkness.
    • They move slowly at first, but the more noise you make, the faster they get.
  • Abilities:

    • Blind but hypersensitive to sound. They hear your footsteps, the creak of a door, the shuffle of your breath.
    • If they detect you, they let out a horrific, guttural wail that summons more.
    • The longer you stay in one place, the more aggressive they become.

New Updates & Features

  • Expanded Lore: Notes scattered throughout the school now reveal more about the outbreak of ‘93.
  • Posters & Signs: Old, tattered posters now show warnings about the infection before the school was shut down.
  • More Jumpscares:
    • Random Deadwalker ambushes in previously “safe” areas.
    • Hallway blackouts where the only thing you hear is something breathing right behind you.
    • Fake doors that, when opened, reveal nothing but darkness—and something inside staring back.
  • 60-Minute Timer Update: You have one hour before the Deadwalkers become unstoppable. If you fail to escape, you join them.

Your Goal

Find a way out before it’s too late. Piece together the truth of what happened in 1993.

And whatever you do…

Don’t make a sound.
