Nightcoast

Made by the Game Director from one sentence, through its tools alone, with every change approved by a person. How it made Nightcoast, turn by turn

Scavenge a dark shoreline for driftwood and the cells inside dead machines, build a lamp, and get through one night while a broken sentry hunts you. To beat it, read its tell, dodge, and strike its exposed vent.

It takes a while to start: about 10 seconds in our browser check.
