Stare

Stare (published at the URL the-staring-contest) is a short, unsettling Unity game by ahansahoo built around a single rule: you must run, and you must never take your eyes off them. The premise reads like a nightmare logic puzzle — "From them... from yourself." — and the game wraps that dread into a chase you experience first-hand. Every glance away is a risk, and stopping is never an option: "Never stop running, lest you repent what you have done." It is a compact horror-tinged experience that costs nothing but a browser and a few nervous minutes.

Keep moving and keep watching. Your goal is to keep running without letting the staring entities out of your sight — glance away and you lose ground on yourself. The game is about holding that tension for as long as your nerve lasts.

Keyboard – move and run Mouse – control your view (Unity web build)

Never stop running; stopping is how you repent what you have done. Track more than one presence by sweeping your view instead of fixating. Short sessions work well — the game is built for a tense single sitting.
