3 O'clock Horror

3 O'clock Horror is a Lovecraftian-inspired tale about a man writing an account of the night he visited his great uncle’s mansion. He may have gone in search of his father or in search of fortune; you decide. Your goal is to finish writing what happened before 3 AM, while accepting and understanding the fate you may have unleashed upon yourself.

Explore the mansion

The house has left and right sections, which you can explore in either order as you solve puzzles. Keep watch on your pocket watch: if you pass 3 AM, you go insane. Which puzzles you solve determines which of the game’s three endings you reach.

Manage your sanity

Your character cannot take physical damage, but memories that bring back the horrors of the night cause sanity loss. If sanity reaches zero, the character’s story ends for the day. In the basement, you can find the Book of Blood and use its spells to produce beneficial effects that help you pursue your goals in the mansion. Using them puts your sanity at risk, and the effects may not be worth the cost.

Monsters in the house

Three monsters hunt and watch you in the mansion. Jump scares occur when you encounter them.
