Overview
Psycho is a first-person survival horror game developed by Ali Mattar and published by Mattar Productions. Players step into the shoes of Eli, trapped within a house that refuses to let them leave. The core mechanic revolves around a constant struggle against encroaching darkness. Every few seconds, the lights flicker out, plunging the environment into shadow where a relentless hunter stalks the player. Staying in the light is the only way to survive; venturing into the dark or letting the light fail means succumbing to the entity. This isn't a leisurely exploration of a haunted house, but a desperate race against time and the ever-present threat.
