Our take on Scary In The Journey
Rather than limiting horror encounters to fighting or fleeing, the game presents hiding, evasion, pursuit, and combat as connected choices. Its transforming maps also replace a fully fixed route with environments that change during exploration.
What is Scary In The Journey?
Scary In is a cooperative horror game set in a post-apocalyptic future affected by radiation called Solar.
Players live in an underground station connected to stations around the world, then travel outside to find a new place to live. Exploration includes changing maps, key searches, puzzles, and obstacles while hostile entities pursue the group. Players can avoid enemies, hide, or run, and may fight after learning how individual entities behave. Available tools include an axe, shovel, gun, traps, wall vision, stunning, blinding, and pills that restore health and reduce radiation. Travel also reveals lore about the entities, including how they were created and how to avoid them.
