The 8th Day

The 8th Day is a first-person psychological horror game set in a haunted, abandoned asylum. You play as Rex, an ordinary man caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, and navigate the changing building to find safety while avoiding or confronting the threats in its shadows. The asylum is procedurally generated and recursive, so its layout changes each time you load the game.

Explore the asylum

Search rooms and read logs to find keys, solve puzzles and make your way through locked doors. The asylum’s changing layout can leave you lost as you explore. You can encounter different ways to progress through its rooms and corridors.

Survive the threats

You can fight threats directly or flee to safety in another room. Light can banish demons; use sources such as a flashlight or glow sticks to keep them away.

Manage your resources

Your inventory is limited, so you need to manage the items you find in lockers and desk drawers. Saving is also limited and restricted: find computers to record your progress.
