Hollow Eye

Hollow Eye is a first-person psychological horror game where you step into the shoes of a nameless amnesiac living in a claustrophobic apartment within a decaying Walled City. Haunted by nightmares you can't explain, you discover a burnt diary that triggers fragmented memories of a childhood orphanage fire.

Gameplay alternates between apartment exploration, where you detect misplaced anomalies to unlock words in a journal, and nightmare sequences that reveal glimpses of your repressed past. Survive by managing your gaze: The Girl kills if you look at her. The Charred vanishes if you stare too long.

3 iterations of 3 days (9 total days), each revealing more of the truth. The final nightmare forces a choice that determines one of 3 endings: atonement, self-destruction, or ignorance.

But nothing is as it seems. The entire experience is an interrogation simulation, a twisted truth you'll only uncover at the very end.
