Overview
SHOCKFACE plunges players into a chilling 90s-inspired slasher horror scenario. You step into the shoes of Chelsea, who, despite ominous signs like sealed floors, dead elevators, and unsettling noises, attends a job interview in a largely abandoned commercial building. What begins as a seemingly ordinary interview quickly devolves into a deadly trap, forcing players to navigate a perilous environment. The game emphasizes atmosphere and suspense over direct confrontation, drawing heavily from the tropes of classic 90s slasher films.
