Something lay down in the forest.

You went off a forest road the night something came down in the trees. Find the eight pieces it shed, get back to your car, and drive. It plays in a browser tab, free, with nothing to install.

  • Light is the only refugeStand in a beam or a lit doorway and you steady. It also tells everything where you are.
  • The dark takes you apartA few seconds without light and you start to come undone. Keep moving toward the next glow.
  • Three batteriesYour torch drains one cell at a time. Two spares are hidden in each forest, never in the same place.
  • Don't look at itLooking lets it read you. The picture tears, the static rises, and it learns your shape.
  • It hides and it watchesIt stands behind trunks and leans out. Look away and it moves up a tree. Walk up to it and it stops hiding.
  • Listen firstThe crickets stop when it is near. Footsteps and clicking come from where it really is.
  • Running costs youSprint until you are empty and you slow to a crawl. Do it again and again and you will be sick in the leaves.
  • Seven skiesClear, fog, heavy fog, rain, storm, snow or blizzard. Lightning shows you the whole forest for one frame.
  • Grown from a seedNo two runs match. Type a seed to walk the same forest as a friend and race their time.
  • Pages left behindSix notes from people who were here before you. Nobody explains anything. You piece it together.
  • Achievements, soonTasks that unlock new ways to play, starting with an old camcorder in place of the torch.
  • Multiplayer, soonFriends in the same forest, and one of you on the other side of the tree.
