Welcome to HorrorCore: Labyrinth and Pools of Horror, a game that takes you on a journey through a disturbing, dark world full of tension, fear, and unexpected solutions. Inspired by the iconic Backrooms and horror classics, the game will immerse you in a labyrinth where every room could become a trap, and unknown entities lurk in the darkness, waiting for your mistakes.

As an amateur photographer, you decide to visit the newly opened museum dedicated to internet creepypasta legends. Among the exhibits is the legendary painting "Forgotten Halls," said to hide dark secrets. Fascinated by the history behind the artwork, you decide to capture its image through your lens. However, shortly after entering the museum, you begin to notice strange changes — the surroundings become increasingly unreal, and dark shadows seem to come alive. Soon, you realize the museum is not what it seems, and lurking around every corner is something you can't capture in a frame. You must unravel the mystery of "Forgotten Halls" and escape before you become part of its eerie history.

In this world, you won’t find traditional light or a flashlight. Your only hope is a camera, or more precisely, the camera flash. This brief, blinding light allows you to momentarily unveil dark secrets, but when it fades… you’re left in total darkness, filled with terrifying sounds that seem to emerge from the depths of hell itself.

Game Modes

Normal: In this mode, you’ll face a true fight for survival. Something in the dark may kill you, but can you find the exit before it's too late?
Exploration: If you want to experience the thrill of fear without the pressure of time, choose this mode. Although there’s no mortal danger, the darkness will still be unsettling, and the atmosphere will never cease to disturb you.
HorrorCore (New Game+) – A mode inspired by my game Apartament 1406. You have no conventional weapons – your only defense is a camera. Use the flash to light up the darkness and slow down the creatures lurking in the shadows… but be careful, not everything should be captured. Can you survive with only the flash as your weapon? This mode requires you to complete the "New Game" or "Adventure" mode first.

The game isn’t about traditional combat – it’s about the fear that rises within you with every passing moment. The camera is your only "weapon." The flash of light can slow down unknown entities, but you never know if it will attract something even worse.

Key Features:

Turning Points in the Dark – brief flashes from the camera that reveal a terrifying reality.
No Flashlight – the camera’s light is the only way to uncover the truth, but each use of the flash leaves you in total darkness.
Dark, Tense Atmosphere – gameplay in the dark, where every step could be your last.
Two Unique Modes – The Normal survival mode and Exploration, where there’s no pressure, but fear is just as real.
Steam Features – The game offers Steam Achievements to track your progress and unique accomplishments, Steam Cloud for saving progress and continuing your game across different devices, Steam Leaderboards for comparing your scores with other players, and support for gamepad controls, providing an alternative way to explore and survive.
Game Options: Disable Flicker (where the light simply shines for about 2 seconds before fading away), in-game brightness adjustment, language selection, voice acting options, control customization, as well as detailed graphics and audio settings. These options allow you to tailor the gameplay experience to your preferences, ensuring an immersive and comfortable environment whether you're adjusting visual effects, sound levels, or how you interact with the game.
