STUCK

Fast-paced horror • Run After Run • Memory shards & upgrades

Short description

STUCK throws you into a looping nightmare where speed and nerves matter. You are James — trapped between life and a coma, reliving childhood trauma as hostile shadows stalk every corridor. Kill the shadows, collect memory shards, and unlock upgrades to survive the next run. Each attempt brings you closer to the truth… or deeper into the dark.

Backstory

James was in an accident. Now he lies in a hospital bed, suspended in a coma, wandering in endless nightmares that fold and repeat. Fractured memories of a childhood marked by fear and loss surface as tangible shards — each one a battered piece of who he was. The shadows that haunt him are manifestations of those traumas; only by confronting them and gathering memory can James hope to wake.

Gameplay

STUCK is built around quick, intense runs. You enter a nightmare, face waves of shadow enemies, and scavenge memory shards. Survive long enough to gather shards and defeat powerful shadow forms — then spend those shards to unlock permanent upgrades for future runs.

Core loop

1. Start a run — enter a randomly assembled nightmare.
2. Fight and evade aggressive shadows.
3. Collect memory shards dropped by shadows.
4. Kill all shadows.
5. Return to the next run with upgrades.
