About this game

The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.

You Should Have Said No.

It was supposed to be a harmless, late-night dare from seniors. Step inside the unfinished building. Pick up a blueprint in the terrace. Come back.

To prove that you are NOT afraid.

However, the deeper you explore, the more the silence begins to feel alive. A hidden story lingers in the shadows. Someone... or something is lurking behind...

What Awaits Inside?

The Dare is a suspense-driven horror experience focused on atmosphere, exploration, and survival.
