HE KNOCKS
Something is knocking at your cabin door.
In the tundra, nothing should knock.
You are alone in the frozen wilderness. Hunting was supposed to be simple — survive the cold, gather firewood, cook meat, endure the silence.
But the moose watching you from the treeline is not behaving like an animal.
Gameplay
- Survival system (chop wood, cook meat, hunt)
- Unpredictable moose intelligence
- Terrifying psychological events
- Short, intense, fear-driven gameplay
Story
You play as a lone hunter who escaped society, fleeing the grip of Neurovast Corporation. This company devours everything—entire industries, and even people themselves. The hero realized early that society was doomed and retreated into the tundra. But even here, Neurovast’s experiments continue to hunt him.

Included this in my 3 random horror game video!
What a solid game this was! Quite a good premise for sure and great execution. I did end up cutting down almost every single tree before the fire went out xD. The fact that you can do that is superb. Overall, solid little game. Made a video on it.
Hello! I chose to add your game for todays 3 Random Horrors! Your game is at 41:29.
It was a bit slow to begin with as it was just chopping wood & hunting moose for meat. But it did get better, when that big Moose/skin walker started appearing and it did get scary then. Great jumpscare at the end! I did have great fun with this game. I did wish for more context on this neurovast experiment things like, did be do this?
My only complaint was, there were a lot of invisible barriers & especially at the 1st killing the moose, I think I got all, but one died beyond the invisible barriers,but I could not get it.
Thanks for the experience! I hope to see more games from you!
Thanks a lot for the video! It was really interesting to watch :3 Thanks for leaving a comment too. Im planning to make more games soon, and next ones wont have those kinds of barriers everything will look much nicer. Thanks for following my games! Good luck with your videos youre doing great.

Keep going the way you are youre doing great. Thanks again for the video and everything you do :3

Yo! Thanks a lot for the video really appreciate it. If you dont mind could you give the game a rating :3
Valeu demais pelo vídeo! Se não for incômodo, dá uma nota pro jogo.
Amazing :)
Thanks so much for the video! It’s really cool. :)
This is one of the worst games i've played on here. I was going to make a video on it but it was 50 minutes of nothing.
The game states that all actions must be completed within about 10 minutes of game time. I don’t understand what’s unclear here. Can you tell me exactly what point it’s unclear?
Where does it say that?
My experience was chopping a bunch of wood and staring at a furnace for 15 minutes before my character said "ok thats enough wood"
Then i killed and harvested all the moose and stared at the furnace AGAIN for 15 minutes
Then it told me i needed fresh air and walked around outside doing laps of the house until the furnace died because i wasn't allowed to chop more wood.
It’s really weird. During the walk, after leaving the house, there should have been a dialogue sequence about the player noticing tracks. In other levels, literally two trees and one moose carcass are enough. I’ll check later what’s wrong with that level. I apologize for this.
The first time i played i cut down 90% of the trees before losing cause i forgot to add more fuel (after having added like 40 logs).
When going for the walk i did concentric circles so i cant imagine i missed something.
Nice!
Thanks so much for the video! If you don’t mind, please rate the game :3
No problem!
