How it feels

You play as a security guard trapped in a nightmarish office building, solving puzzles and sneaking past deadly entities in a tense, linear survival horror experience.

What players say

Players say Precept is a short, challenging horror experience with a strong atmosphere and inventive enemy mechanics, like having to freeze when a creature senses you. It's compared to games like The Classrooms, and many find it scary but note it has no story and can be difficult.
