A downloadable TAO for Windows

⚠️ IMPORTANT: READ BEFORE DOWNLOADING

This is a PRE-ALPHA version (v0.1).

This means the game is in a very early stage of development. You will likely encounter bugs, unpolished mechanics, optimization issues, or visual glitches. The game is NOT finished. I am uploading this build to gather feedback, find errors, and share my progress. Play at your own risk!

📜 The Story

For nearly two decades, an abandoned residence on the outskirts of town has been the center of dark rumors. Unexplained disappearances, shadows in the windows, and a deathly silence have kept the neighbors away... and the local police looking the other direction.

You are Jack Johnson, an honest police officer drowning in debt. Taking advantage of your desperation, your superiors have assigned you an unofficial, solitary mission: investigate the house. Alone. Silent. Off the record.

What began as a routine inspection turns into a nightmare when you discover what lies beneath the floorboards: a hidden underground bunker, devoid of ventilation, designed as a twisted paradise for children.

Now you are trapped. The oxygen is running out. And in the darkness of this forgotten bunker... something has awakened.

⚙️ Pre-Alpha Features

  • Oppressive Atmosphere: VHS/Retro aesthetic and sound design built to unsettle you.
  • Survival Mechanics: You must watch the cameras, but you must also watch your breath. Oxygen is limited.
  • The Enemies: Survive against "The Abandoned Ones." Learn their patterns or face the consequences.
  • The Mystery: Uncover the first clues of a police conspiracy that goes far deeper than a haunted house.
