Short description
Explore a PSX-style horror game where your senses are your tools for survival. Sacrifice one sense for another to detect threats and make it out alive. Experience the sensory deprivation as you sneak throughout the warehouse, doing your last tasks for the night.
About this game
Zaru is a single-player, first-person, retro-style horror game in which your goal is to lock up a warehouse on a night whilst avoiding various monsters that can only be detected by giving up sight, hearing or speech through in-game mechanics. Synopsis You are a warehouse worker in 1980's America. Your job is to lock up the warehouse on an evening after work. Except you aren't alone. Beings roam behind and between the shelves. Beings that can't be perceived conventionally. To witness their movements you will have to give up one sense to enhance another e.g. giving up your sight to be able to accurately hear a being and where it is. Swap between your senses to keep on top of the beings' movements while making sure you don't neglect any of them. To survive, you must complete various tasks given by fellow employees, lock up and don't let the beings touch you. No-one is around to save you when something goes wrong. Key Features Avoiding the monsters by swapping your sensory prowess Doing tasks left by fellow workers Shouting at a pigeon to get it out of the warehouse Microphone required for gameplay, headphones recommended for intended experience.
