DON’T PANIC
Control your voice. Protect your sanity. Survive the night.
Don’t Panic is an online co-op psychological horror experience with a light bodycam camera aesthetic. Players take on the role of police officers sent to investigate mysterious events deep within a forest. On this night, the greatest threats are not only unknown entities — but panic, fear, and your own voice.
Overview
As a police unit, you are assigned to investigate strange incidents occurring in the forest. As the night progresses, the environment changes, logic begins to break down, and control slowly slips away. There are no safe zones. Threats are random, and every mistake can have serious consequences.
Thanks to the microphone detection system, shouting, panicking, or making sudden noises directly affects gameplay. If you make too much noise… something will hear you.
Gameplay Features
Online Co-Op (1–4 Players): Play together with friends or face the darkness alone.
Microphone Detection Mechanic: Your real voice affects the game. Loud sounds attract danger.
Sanity System: Excessive fear and shouting reduce your sanity. As sanity drops, your perception of reality deteriorates.
Fear Meter: As sanity decreases, the fear meter also drops. If the fear meter reaches zero, your character dies in panic.
Random Events: Every playthrough is different. Events and threats are dynamically generated.
Bodycam-Style Camera: A disturbing and realistic perspective with light VHS and handheld camera effects.
Dense Atmospheric Design: Detailed ambient sounds, sudden effects, and dark visual tone create constant tension.
Objective
Survive the night and collect clues for your investigation.
Stay close to your teammates and work together.
Stay quiet. Someone might hear you.
Why Don’t Panic?
Unlike traditional horror games, Don’t Panic turns the player’s real-world reactions into a core gameplay mechanic. The fear is not only on the screen — it exists in your room. The calmer you stay, the better your chances of survival.
