How it feels

a disorienting first-person horror experience where you must avoid grotesque creatures while piecing together a fragmented nightmare of a narrative.

What players say

Players describe Heliophobia as a psychological horror game that relies on atmosphere and anxiety rather than jump scares. It combines escape-room puzzles with stealth and chase sections, and its fragmented story is intentionally hard to follow, leaving some unsatisfied and others intrigued. The game takes about 3 to 5 hours to complete.
