Metel

Metel is a first-person 3D horror escape game. You play as a victim held in a metal cage in an old, abandoned house in the forest, and must escape and get as far from the nightmare as possible.

Evade the maniac

As you search for a way out, the maniac can hear you and come to check on you. Before he arrives, hide any evidence of your escape attempt and return to the cage. He checks whether you are there, then looks for signs that you tried to escape. If he finds no evidence, he leaves you alone; if he notices something such as an opened box or door, he punishes you by sending an electric current through the metal cage. You have three attempts to escape, and cannot take the maniac on directly.

Four victims

The game has four levels, each featuring a different victim. As you play, you learn about the victims’ histories and how it all began. The levels include puzzles to solve as you work towards escape.
