They Stare

Story Mode

Play as Rachel Simmons, a police officer with a tragic past in Clear County. A hiker has gone missing on the North Ridge Loop, and you have been called out to search for them. Arrive on the scene and begin walking the trail, keeping an eye out for any signs of the missing hiker while you try to shake the feeling that you're being... watched.

Discover and collect clues along the trail. Inspect them to help uncover what happened to the missing hiker. Use the information you have gathered to solve puzzles and advance through the story. Can you find out what happened to the missing hiker, or will your picture join theirs in the missing persons bulletin?

Nightmare Mode

In Nightmare Mode, you find yourself in the depths of a procedurally generated level. Find evidence and other useful items to help you escape while avoiding the horrors within. Play in:

The Old Manor: Blood streaks and the eerie creaks of old floorboards are not the only things found in this manor. As you explore a question arises: what happened to the people who lived here?

Catacombs: A labyrinth of dirt and bones. Whatever is crawling around in the darkness is waiting for you to get lost and meet an unfortunate end.

The Drain Tunnels: Under the manholes of Clear County lives something truly disturbing. Find the path to the surface and stay cautious, sound travels in these tunnels.

Use the items you find to unlock new areas, solve puzzles and uncover clues. Escape and survive the horrors within, gather enough evidence to gain reputation and unlock new levels. Be weary, sometimes taking the exit sooner is better than risking it all for more items and evidence. You must remain under constant vigilance of any danger, using careful planning and stealth to avoid it, or stamina when all else fails.

One question remains: Do you have what it takes to survive the horrors of Clear County?
