What is Niktophobia?

Niktophobia is a mission-based horror game set in a space station’s chemical research facility after it loses contact. As part of a biological and chemical threat prevention team, you collect and isolate suspicious materials for analysis while an enemy investigates disturbances and assesses whether you are hostile. You can play alone or in groups of up to four, with VR and desktop players together.
