Howdy, Whitaker Metaphysical family. The latest update contains the following improvements: [UI Improvements] - A recent review mentioned that puzzles did not give players enough guidance when completed. Major puzzles that have unlocks now have announcements and the truth announcements have been made larger and more prevalent to emphasize their importance. Thanks for the suggestion! [Sound Improvements] - Various events in the Maze and the Library (*such as the Isolation Room and the Fantasma Communis] were not reflecting global sound values. This has been fixed. [Patches] - The enemy was appearing in the Circulation Room but not responding to the player. This has been fixed. [Birbs] - The birds in the Maze were not responding to running, but to walking and only upon input. This has been fixed. [Lydia] - Lydia's breathing sound when exhausted would stop when entering another room. This is now fixed. [Maze] - Passages in the maze now have a buffer to prevent accidental input when entering another maze section. [Book Puzzle] - On the book sorting puzzle, some answers were appearing upside down. This has been fixed. COMING SOON - The full /R Soundtrack will soon be available on Steam. More info coming soon as it is pending store approval. Both lossless WAV and MP3 will be included. It will also be spoiler-free. See you in the endless night. XOXO, NegDev

Once upon a time, Lydia Whitaker woke up.
Alone and abandoned in the Whitaker Manor, once a testing ground for pseudoscience experiments, our female protagonist navigates a mansion in an endless night, escaping a violent presence around every corner. She experiences other bizarre paranormal phenomena including an RGB nightmare, a haunted hedge maze, monsters in walls and more horrors. Discover the brutal truths that stay you from your freedom.
Explore over 100 rooms complete with light switches, rooms ranging from an arboretum to a recording studio and even a working A/C system. You will solve puzzles, discover lore and be resourceful while escaping a variety of threats and the terror of your relentless pursuer - because if you die, it's game over. No reloading will save you.
The game's story is inspired by "mystery box" styled media and unlike other single player titles, you can go any direction, any time after the introduction. Be careful though - your enemy will react depending on where you go. Many of the game's puzzles also change - either in location or solution - each playthrough and the game's final stage is different every time you play. Much can consume your time outside the chases as well - adopt a cat, learn yoga and even get in on some retrogaming - complete with its own epic boss fight.
/R uses a unique visual style that is claustrophobic and atmospheric with Lydia seeming to be under constant surveillance of a dodgy CRT-style display. With an eerie, pulsing soundtrack by the Amazing Doctor Tentacles and environmental ambience all around, this is a game that begs the use of headphones or a sound system. The graphics were hand-drawn before pixel editing and no AI-based generation was used in the making of this title, cobbled together between breaks at work by a one-man development team. This is an indie game for indie gamers.
Run, hide, adapt and survive - or die.
