Overview
Hektor is a first-person psychological horror game developed and published by Rubycone. Set within the confines of a defunct, covert research facility in northern Greenland, players awaken as a former subject with only a lighter and flashlight to guide them. The core of Hektor's unsettling atmosphere lies in its dynamic environment; corridors and paths procedurally generate and shift, ensuring that no two playthroughs are ever the same. Players must navigate this unstable world, piecing together cryptic clues to escape the facility and confront the madness that has taken hold.
