About This Game
A first-person psychological horror game where you must return seven books to their shelves in a deserted library while being hunted by statue-like entities that only move when unobserved. Survive using observation and strategy in this tense 20–30 minute experience.
Detailed Description
Peripheral is a short, high-intensity psychological horror experience. Explore the library after closing, return the books, and try to survive against the Wardens, eerie statue entities that freeze when you look at them but stalk you the moment you turn away.
Return the Books
Your goal is simple: pick up a book from the return slot, find its shelf, and return it. But with every book, the difficulty escalates as the Wardens grow more relentless. Every book raises the stakes: shelves are sabotaged, lights go out, and statues come to life. Can you return all seven books before the Wardens return you?
Beware the Wardens
The Wardens only move when you look away. Keep them in your peripheral vision to stay alive. Look directly at them for too long or get too close, and your senses distort as fear overwhelms you.
Light and Fear
Your flashlight is your lifeline. As you progress, the library is plunged into darkness, forcing you to rely on your limited beam of light. Use your flashlight to navigate the library, but beware looking at the signs for too long, something might creep up behind you.
Uncover the Library’s Secrets
What are the Wardens? Why are they here? Discover the history of the library through the environment.
