A downloadable horror game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Description:

In The Dead Hallway, you find yourself trapped in an old and decrepit hallway, with no memory of how you got there. It quickly becomes clear that you're not alone, and that something sinister is lurking in the darkness.

Your only goal is to escape the building alive but to do so, you'll have to navigate through a seemingly endless corridor, avoiding the creatures that are chasing you. With each step you take, the tension mounts as the enemies are approaching faster and faster.

Features and FunFacts:

  • One-button horror experience
  • LowPoly-Retro aesthetics
  • Atmospheric environment
  • Made in just 48 hours for a game jam.

Really intense and quite fun! Looking forward to an "ending" or a more "complete" version of this, keep up the good work!

After the update, the stamina decreases slowly and increases incredibly fast. I think it's a bit easy...

Anyway, there is no end screen. i passed the exit somehow

damn, just realized that I never replied to you. Hope that u didn't mind but yea, this game was never beatable ðŸ˜…. During my jam, I never came close to programming a finish line, I updated the game just by adding the only halfway done features and then left it at that. I do plan on creating a separate version of this game that will be beatable but that could take a while lol. 

I'm sorry to disappoint and if you would like, I will notify u when the game is beatable

thanks, when it's beatable i will upload it to speedrun.com

short ver:

i think this game is impossible in its current state,

possible fixes: make monster slower, increase stamina
and/or
slow the speed at which stamina decreases

+

have you completed this game, even once? or if not, have you at least gotten to 600m left?



long ver:

alright, where do i begin:


I barely made it to 800m left. I think the game is (at its current state) impossible.

The mouth gets to the player faster than Disney canceled The Owl House.
And your stamina doesn't help with that, as it too lasts as long as a season 1 RWBY episode.


I found this game by chance while looking for games to speedrun,
(I look for indie games to upload to Speedrun.com for exposure.)

I think if you either increase stamina to 200 / make it go down slower
or
Make the mouth thing slower

maybe even

Make the mouth thing slower but exponentially go faster as does your speed.


But for the time being,

I think this game is, currently, impossible.
But here's a question just in case:

Have you completed this game, even just once?

By that I mean have you finished the full 1000m? How long did it take?

If not, have you at least gotten to 600m?


Sorry for the long comment.

Interesting game for sure. I wish either we had a longer stamina or the enemy didn't come towards the player as fast. By the time I hit the 800, I feel like I barely had time to recover before the mouth was breathing down my back. But other then that, not bad.

I really appreciate your letsplay! From your video alone I found many gameplay issues that need fixing that you may not even have noticed. Keep up the good work!

nice prototype

I really appreciate your playthrough! I see that there are a lot of things I have to make more clear for a better gaming experience
