What is PANICORE?

A first-person survival horror game playable alone or in online co-op across abandoned locations. As trapped urban explorers, players search each map for items, solve puzzles, hide under tables or in cabinets, and evade a noise-sensitive AI monster while working toward one of several escape routes.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy scavenging, puzzles, and hiding from a pursuing monster
  • +you like replaying maps to try different escape routes
  • +you want horror where noise can expose your position

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer fighting monsters instead of evading them
  • −you want a relaxed pace without persistent pursuit
