Our take on Precept
Rather than placing horror in an isolated mansion or wilderness, Precept turns a routine night shift inside a company into the setting for its nightmare. Its central contrast is between ordinary workplace duties and a distorted environment filled with puzzles, pursuit, and unknown entities.
What is Precept?
Precept follows a night guard whose routine shift becomes a struggle to escape a distorted company environment.
The first-person action horror game centers on exploration through halls transformed into a labyrinth. Each floor contains puzzles and other obstacles that block progress, while dangerous environments and unknown entities threaten the guard. Choices affect the course of the journey. The game also focuses on uncovering hidden secrets and escaping under pressure, with sound and visual presentation supporting its horror atmosphere. The stated objective is survival and escape from the company’s environment.
