A downloadable game for Windows


Flicker Within is a suspenseful puzzle-horror game set in a secluded, decaying cabin deep within a deserted forest. You awaken in total darkness—alone, or so it seems. With the power out and the lights dead, your goal is simple: restore electricity and bring light back to the cabin. But something else is waiting in the shadows... and it doesn't want you to succeed.

Armed only with a flashlight and an old video tape camera. You must navigate the cabin, solve environmental puzzles, and avoid the presence stalking you. Use your surroundings to hide and listen carefully: your senses are just as important as your tools. The camera reveals what the eye cannot see, but its battery drains fast. Don’t linger too long, or you risk being plunged into permanent darkness.

Good game but 3/4 puzzels are statik and if you know how to beat them you can finnish the game in under 5 minuts without picking up the camera

Great atmosphere and fun to play, I like the puzzles for what they are but I would enjoy some more puzzles.

One addition that I would like to have implemented is the abbility to pause the game so that you can change the settings, right now all you can do is bring up the tutorial but theres no way to pause it.

Aside from that one issue I think its a great game!

The premise is great and the setting is eerie!

A small quality of life improvement would be to clamp the flashlights movement to stay within the viewport - but it's by no means necessary! 

I believe the version I downloaded is slightly bugged though as the monster remains invisible to me until the death animation.
Do I need to do something on my end or just wait for a hotfix? :)
