How it feels

You are alone in a dark forest, forced to use a camera that reveals invisible threats, making every step feel tense and exposed.

What players say

Players describe Infrared as a PS1-style horror game where you explore a forest to fuel your car. The infrared camera mechanic lets you see hidden entities, but the game gets frustrating. It has three endings, a secret one, and no saving, so each run takes about an hour. Some note very low starting mouse sensitivity.
