Our take on Clea
The no-jump-scare premise may make the horror sound less demanding than it is. Its pressure comes from enemies that react to noise in real time, alongside puzzles and item searches that keep escape tied to observation and execution.
What is Clea?
Clea is a survival horror adventure focused on player skill rather than scripted jump scares.
Chaos Servants move through the Whitlock Mansion in real time and react to noise, so progress involves listening for footsteps, checking beneath doors, and avoiding detection. Clea and her brother must escape the mansion after their parents’ experiments release the creatures. Players search for key items and solve puzzles that block the route outside. Memory orbs reveal the Whitlock family’s history through bonus chapters. The game’s voice cast includes Xanthe Huynh, Anairis Quinones, Aimee Smith, Miguel Moran, and Angela Tran.
