Our take on The Entity
The store emphasis on varied scares and a large house investigation leaves the core structure looking narrower: exploration centers on finding clues and keys while managing generator power. The three endings add variation, but the experience remains focused on one location and a single investigation.
What is The Entity?
Explore the house of a deceased grandmother after hearing noises remembered from childhood.
The investigation involves locating clues left behind about strange creatures, while searching for keys that may be concealed around the building. Clues and keys emit a faint glow, with clues being easier to spot. Power management affects exploration: the generator is drained by lights and by repeatedly charging a phone for its flashlight. The game combines environmental investigation with jump scares and other scare sequences. Actions taken during the game lead to three different endings. Partial controller support is available, but keyboard and mouse are required for menus. The store text names English, Spanish, simplified Chinese, Polish, German and Russian among the supported languages.
How The Entity plays
