MÆRE is an experimental horror game I made for Halloween this year about trying to fall asleep in a haunted room.

The game takes around 7 minutes to complete. The game is best experienced with headphones. The game is a little dark as I was trying to reproduce the feeling of being in a dark room and staring out trying to make out different shapes. But I've tried it on 4 different monitors and I think its possible to see whats happening.

HOLD SPACE to close your eyes.
RELEASE SPACE to open them.

Keep your EYES CLOSED and FEAR METER low to fall asleep.

If you hear something in the dark it will raise your FEAR METER, as will seeing an entity.

It is difficult to fall asleep if you are afraid. So make sure you keep your FEAR METER low.

You can reduce your FEAR METER by looking around the area where ou heard the noise coming from, this will reassure you that the area is safe.

Use ARROW KEYS to look around.

Ghosts thrive on attention. So if you do see something that should not be there. Don't pay attention to it and eventually it will leave you alone.

When asleep you may dream.
Nothing can hurt you in a dream.
But you may still feel the sensation of pain.
