You walk forward through fog. The world generates ahead of you — and unloads behind you. Except lately, something in the unloaded chunks has started persisting. A three-minute horror experience built from one prompt, no jump scares, all dread.

// the origin prompt

A walking horror game where the terror is the render distance itself. What if the chunks behind you didn't fully unload?

Nine prompts. NINE. And it's scarier than most funded studio horror. The last thirty seconds rewired me.

The fog shader alone deserves a devlog. Play it with headphones, alone, at night. Or don't.
