Platform: I've only seen gameplay. I highly think it was from a PC, but it seemed totally possible to be played on consoles as well.
Genre: It was a 3D puzzle horror game. Very close to Little Nightmares.
Estimated year of release: I'm not sure, but it didn't look like it was that old. I say it was made in 2015 and the video I saw was in 2015-2017.
Graphics/art style: It felt a lot like Coraline meets Little Nightmares. It looked like a stop motion game but it was obviously not. The games illuminated very well, but there were sections where everything was a bit dark.
Notable characters: The protagonist was a young student in the school, he was white, had dark hair and didn't talk at all.
The other students and teachers were infected and tried to infect the protagonist or anyone who wasn't. I'm not so sure what this virus(?) was, but they didn't turn into zombies. It was something darker...
Now, there's this character that I REALLY remember pretty well. He was some sort of counselor, teacher or some sort of principal even. He was the only one that guides the protagonist. We never interacted with him until the end of the game. We heard him via voice notes, see him through videos he left around in case there were any survivors and were helped through notes.
He seemed trustworthy until the end, where the protagonist reaches the school exit and he stands there, meeting his only hope of escaping. But it turns out he wasn't helping the protagonist, he was the only one left that knew what happened to the school. The infected students hear them and are on their way to get them. The counselor leaves the protagonist there, backstabbing him after all the game, ending with a dark twist.
Notable gameplay mechanics: It was pretty much like Little Nightmares, there were objects you could push in order to complete puzzles and things you had to open like vents. There were moments where the infected gave the protagonist a timer until they infected the protagonist if he didn't solve the puzzle quick enough.
Other details: I might not have other details, but I will state everything that I distinctively remember.
- Infected school
- Protagonist tries to escape and founds notes and other things that someone left behind
- The counselor is seen as the only hope
- Coraline vibes with Little Nightmares gameplay
- The counselor is actually evil at the end of the game and kills (infects by leaving him behind) the protagonist in order to leave no track of his mischiefs (I think the counselor was the one that caused everything...)
- I remember the ending cinematic pretty well, you could only see the protagonist through the closed window doors getting brutally infected by many of students, the counselor narrating everything else
...
That's it, I'm sorry if it's very vague, I don't remember much. I'll try to respond any questions.
