Game pageLook Outside: neighbors too unsettling to forget
A creature may be hard to look at, yet hard to stop caring about after a conversation. Reviews describe unsettling neighbors whose humanity becomes as compelling as their horror.
You want to see the next room, yet return before supplies run out. That tension gives apartment exploration its edge.
What makes it fun
Open the door or head home
Your apartment is a base for scavenging food and weapons. A new room may hide a neighbor or a secret, but dwindling health and worn weapons make heading home tempting.
Talk to the monster?
A grotesque neighbor may be a threat or someone worth hearing out. Looks alone won't tell you which, and how you treat them can change what happens to them.
Games teach combat skills
You can play game cartridges found while exploring back at your apartment. Finishing a game can teach Sam a combat skill, making time away from the monsters useful in the next fight.
