> MOBILE FRIENDLY VERSION AVAILABLE

Try out the demo on its dedicated server: visit the mobile-demo, then come back here and share your feedback :)

> Connection Established

You're aimlessly browsing the Internet when you suddenly stumble upon a page that links you to a remote terminal. There’s someone on the other side.

> Discover an AI Narrative-Driven Experience

TRAPPED is an unique game that melds elements of psychological horror and thriller within the confines of a terminal window. Your only interaction is through chatting with someone on the other side. Yes, you read that right. This game is not for everyone, but it might just be for you.

> A Cohesive Storytelling

Unlike open-ended text adventures that often lead nowhere, this game features tightly designed puzzles and a meticulously crafted plot. Each interaction is part of a larger, unfolding story. The demo concludes with a link that leads to this same itch.io page, but the exploration doesn’t have to stop there. Delve deeper and you might uncover hidden secrets.

> What do you think?

This game is really an experimental project and as such I am really curious to get your feedback. Do you enjoy it? Was it interesting? Would you play more? Have you actually finished it or dropped it midway? Please comment below!

> Support Independent Game Development

This demo represents approximately 8% of the complete game, which is currently 30% developed. As a solo developer, this is my full-time endeavor. Your support and donations are crucial and greatly appreciated to help bring this project to the next step.


> Walkthrough

I suggest trying to solve the game yourself for at least 15 mins before giving up. It will make for a much more satisfying experience. But anyway <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bT2vaCyZUHj2mp2cV388UGucr2QUO4T10yFjPO40Yss/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;">here</a> is the walkthrough.
