PANIC:Psychological Backrooms Horror
A downloadable PANIC for Windows
PANIC
Where logic ends, the hallway begins.
PANIC is an immersive psychological horror experience that pulls you into the unsettling depths of the surreal. Heavily inspired by the Backrooms and Dreamcore aesthetics, the game explores the "liminal space" phenomenon—places that feel strangely familiar, yet deeply wrong.
Key Features:
- Next-Gen Visuals: High-fidelity graphics designed to blur the line between reality and a digital fever dream.
- Atmospheric Soundscapes: A deep, spatial audio design where every hum of a fluorescent light or distant footstep is crafted to keep you on edge.
- Psychological Tension: No cheap jump scares. The horror comes from the environment, the isolation, and the feeling of being hunted by something you can’t quite see.
⚠️ Developer’s Note: > PANIC is currently in active development. While we strive for perfection, you may encounter anomalies (bugs) and performance hiccups. Think of them as glitches in the fabric of this twisted reality. We appreciate your patience and feedback as we build this nightmare. site: https://panic.42web.io/

im gonna be honest the pictures look cool and all but its buns it keeps crashig
im gonna send this game to my frien
i think the anomalies (bugs) fit into the game since in the backrooms there are a lot of anomalies (bugs) when objects clip into the floor or still lives
+- 1 hour
how do i change the language its in russian
I got to the part where you are sitting on a bed looking at 3 cameras and theres a phone on the right but i kept dying to the shadow ghost in the camera. Will you guide me on how to beat this level and will you make a version of the game with a level select?
to complete this level, you need to click on the "Submit Report" button if you notice any changes on the camera, such as a strange object or a monster. After successfully completing this task, your score will increase by 1. You need to achieve a total score of 3 "successfully" and wait for 6:00 in the game. Once you reach this time, you will be transported to the next location (update the game to version 0.0.9a, as this version fixes the transition from location 10 to location 11).
