Our take on Witching Hour
The enemy roster includes a mannequin-like creature that moves only when it is outside the player's view.
What is Witching Hour?
Witching Hour is a horror-themed zombie wave shooter set inside a house, where the goal is to survive until the clock reaches 12.
The player can walk, sprint and fire a rifle while enemies attack from different directions. A flashlight can be switched on and off, and the game uses a body-cam perspective. Four enemy types create distinct threats: zombies move slowly but become dangerous in groups; skinwalkers resemble mannequins and move only when out of sight, dropping ammunition when killed; mutants are large, harder to kill, and visible only while the flashlight is off; and speed demons are small and very fast. Survival centers on managing these attacks until midnight.

- Zombies, skinwalkers, mutants and speed demons each pose different movement or visibility threats.
