Our take on Stay Still
Combat is unavailable: survival in the haunted house centers on running or hiding from the threats.
What is Stay Still?
Stay Still is a first-person psychological horror adventure centered on Nam, who rents a cheap urban house for a day without knowing a murder took place there in 2008.
Explore the house, solve puzzles, and pay attention to the surroundings while dangerous threats and spirits hunt Nam. Combat is not an option: survival depends on running or hiding. The game uses a storytelling focus and draws on Vietnamese culture and urban legends. It also uses sound and environmental changes to create moments in which Nam may perceive the surroundings as altered. The aim is to uncover the house’s dark secret while staying alive.
How Stay Still plays

- Nam cannot fight the threats, so evasion is the way to stay alive.
- 02Perceptual shifts
- A sense of insanity can make the environment seem to change.
- 03Vietnamese cultural setting
