STILL: Don't Look Away

Don't look away.

It's your first night as the watchman at Hartwell's Department Store. The shutters lock at midnight and won't rise until six. The rules are pinned to the desk, and rule two is simple: Margot stays in the front window.

Margot is not in the front window.

STILL is a short but a harrowing first-person horror game about a mannequin that only moves when no one is watching. Keep your eyes on her, get the power back on, and find a way out before her hour comes.

• A mannequin that moves only when you aren't looking, and strikes when you turn your back
• Small, fair puzzles woven into the store's history: a keypad, a breaker panel, an old clock
• Jump scares, an injury that changes how you play, and a hard choice that leads to one of two endings
• Save/load with three slots plus checkpoints
• 11 languages: English, العربية, 简体中文, 日本語, 한국어, Español, Português (Brasil), Français, Deutsch, Русский, हिन्दी

Pay what you want. The game is free. If it got to you, a $1 tip, or $3 if it really got to you, helps me make the next one.
