Our take on LOCKED
The defining detail is the combination of puzzle solving and hide-and-seek evasion: progression takes place while a serial killer searches the house for Debbie.
What is LOCKED?
Play as Debbie, a young woman trapped by a serial killer, and search for a way out of the basement and the surrounding house.
The game combines 2D side-scrolling controls with an interactive environment, puzzle solving, and hide-and-seek encounters. The pursuer can hunt Debbie throughout the house, making evasion part of the escape process. Detailed hand-drawn 2D graphics shape the setting, while the presentation draws from PS1 and PS2 horror games and classic horror films. The compact experience centers on uncovering secrets in the captor’s lair, solving puzzles, hiding from the killer, and finding a route to freedom.
