Washout is a single-player first-person horror game where players must escape a flooded labyrinth while avoiding contact with an unnatural adversary — an anomalous Washing Machine whose behavior defies logic.
Levels are procedurally generated, offering a unique path with every new playthrough. The game places strong emphasis on sound design: in the low-visibility environment, audio cues become the player's primary guide.
The visuals are crafted in a VHS and Found footage aesthetic, featuring grainy textures, distortions, and tape-like artifacts to heighten the sense of unease and disorientation.
