Overview

DON'T FACE UP is a first-person horror experience that plunges players into a disorienting world of amnesia and psychological dread. You awaken in an unfamiliar building with no memory of who you are or how you got there. The only clue is a cryptic message scrawled at your feet: "DON'T FACE UP." This directive becomes the core mechanic and the source of escalating tension as you explore the mysterious environment to uncover your past and the secrets of the location.
