Our take on The Trud
The game pairs investigation with stealth and pursuit: players search for clues about the setting while monsters try to catch them. Its escape-focused setup differs from horror games built around confronting threats as the main activity.
What is The Trud?
The Trud is a first-person horror game that combines exploration and stealth.
After passing out while running from a robber, the protagonist wakes in a strange place that feels familiar. Players investigate the setting, discover what is happening, and search for a way out while monsters hunt them. Finding and piecing together the story is part of the game’s progression. The setting is connected to the protagonist’s nightmares, and The Trud tries to prevent their escape. The game received a full rework, with additions and changes based on player suggestions that changed how it is played.
