Peripheral is a short, high-intensity psychological horror experience. Explore the library after closing, return the books, and try to survive against the Wardens, eerie statue entities that freeze when you look at them but stalk you the moment you turn away. Return the Books Your goal is simple: pick up a book from the return slot, find its shelf, and return it. But with every book, the difficulty escalates as the Wardens grow more relentless. Every book raises the stakes: shelves are sabotaged, lights go out, and statues come to life. Can you return all seven books before the Wardens return you? Beware the Wardens The Wardens only move when you look away. Keep them in your peripheral vision to stay alive. Look directly at them for too long or get too close, and your senses distort as fear overwhelms you. Light and Fear Your flashlight is your lifeline. As you progress, the library is plunged into darkness, forcing you to rely on your limited beam of light. Use your flashlight to navigate the library, but beware looking at the signs for too long, something might creep up behind you. Uncover the Library’s Secrets What are the Wardens? Why are they here? Discover the history of the library through the environment. Features Tense first-person horror where your only defense is observation Seven escalating levels of difficulty tied to book returns Hidden lore and environmental storytelling Minimal UI and immersive atmosphere Designed for short, replayable 20–30 minute play sessions Randomized book return system for replayability
