Description
About This Game
WHAT WOULD YOUR PHOBIA LOOK LIKE IF IT CAME TO LIFE?
THROB is a first-person psychological horror platformer. You play as a young woman trapped inside a brutalist structure born from her fear of blood.
A world drained of color. Endless concrete. And beneath your feet, the only color you fear.
A tide of blood rises through the structure, swallowing everything in its path. Each room drives you higher before it too is submerged.
Your heart rate directly affects the world.
As it rises, the blood climbs faster, while platforms and traps accelerate with it.
The dangers take many forms, but they all obey the same rhythm: your heartbeat.
Study their cycles. Anticipate their movements. Choose the right moment to move.
The traps are predictable. Your heart is not.
Keep climbing.
