Instructions
<CONTROLS>
Pick up items by placing the crosshair on them and pressing E.
Drop items on hand using G.
To use the item, press Left Mouse Click.
To zoom in, press Right Mouse Click.
To go back from the player select menu, press B.
<INSTRUCTON>
There are three key fragments randomly placed in the map. Locate the fragments and a duct tape to form the key. Use the key to find Vivek who is locked in one of the rooms inside the Asylum. Do keep in mind that the room as well as the items all spawn in random places each time you play.
Keep your eyes on the clock! When the time runs out, you may not see the light of day anymore! Ending the game faster grants you more points but once the timer ends, every next second grants a point penalty.
To help you see in the darkness you will need to look for light sources like torches, matches and candles. They stay lit for a limited time so be sure to use them carefully.
Other than the main items, you will find collectible items as well. They serve to grant you more points. The team that accumulates the most points will make it to the top of the leaderboard. Do you and your friends have the strength to make it?
Story/Description of the Game
Vivek, a smart fellow and a rather good-looking Pakistan boy, has decided to surprise his family by secretly coming back to Pakistan. His family hasn't seen him in about 4 years, since he went out to study.
On one night, while coming back home his car crashes on the Karsaz road. He has not been heard from since.
Five of his friends decide to go out and look for them. Due to unforeseen events, only three of them make it. In this three-player game, you can choose three of the five people, each with a different personality, strength and weakness.
Things aren't always easy though. There is a well-known entity that roams around Karsaz. It does not want to let you help Vivek. Pray that it doesn't take you too!

loved the game! graphics were nice! other than the loading issue the game is fun to play
Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed playing it! We're trying to see if we can do something about the loading issue :p
I love it, I was skeptical at first but after experiencing the game, I was impressed and inspired. Despite the fact that I played as a single player and couldn't collect a single key, or my lost friend, the atmosphere was killer! I did spot the bride though, it was an insane sight!.
Some quirks that I am sure will be fixed in the future:
You have to drop the light to open doors.
You have to stand at certain distance for the door to open, even though the screen display says "Press E to interact".
The size of the game needs to be brought down, it is a massive download!
After completing the game (dying) you are taken to the character selection, instead of main menu.
Can't wait to experience the improved incarnation of this fantastic entry, a job well done!
Oh man, thank you so much! We worked very hard on it and when we realized that the loading time issue would cause some people to step back, we were quite heart broken. Thank you for the kind words <3
Yep, the issues you've mentioned are present and we will resolve all of these. The final product will be absolutely crazy. :D
Are the starting lamps pickable?
Nope. You can find other pickable light sources scattered around the map.
Ok, so after the server updates, i tried it again and it still loads a bit slower for the first time.. u have to be patient to play it.. so i played with my team members and we were really scared… The Audio Experience is great and the gameplay is fun aswell. keep it up!
Thank you so much! We're glad you liked it :D
We didn't realize the file size would go up that high :p
