Our take on Stab
The no-save structure makes each attempt consequential: death sends the game back to its beginning. This sacrifices persistent progress for a restart-based challenge where mistakes can erase the current run.
What is Stab?
Stab is a first-person horror game about escaping a house with several rooms while a knife-wielding killer searches for the player.
Gameplay combines stealth, survival, puzzles, and exploration. Escaping is the main objective, while secondary objectives award points for leaderboard rankings. Patience is needed to survive and complete tasks. The game uses an escape-style structure focused on avoiding the killer and getting out of the house. It has no save system, so dying restarts the game from the beginning. Its visual style draws inspiration from horror movies.
