ELLA

ELLA is a short first-person horror game about hiding, listening and running.

The front door slams shut behind you. Eight pages of a diary are hidden somewhere in this house. Find them all and the door will open. But she already knows you're here. And she is not alone.

Two monsters, opposite rules

• Her. She patrols the house humming a lullaby, and she sees your flashlight from far away. If she spots you, she stops… and stares. Hide before she's sure it's you.
• The Blind One. He can't see you, but he hears everything: running, doors, bumping into walls. If you hear bones clicking nearby, walk. Slowly.

Features

• A house full of rooms, a basement, locked doors and coloured keys
• Hide in wardrobes, under beds or behind curtains, each with its own risks
• Throw bottles to lure them away, or hit them to stun them for 5 seconds
• Stealth AI: she patrols, gets suspicious, searches for you and can lose your trail
• A torn page hidden somewhere, and a true ending for whoever finds it
• Optional Smile Mode: with a webcam, you have to keep smiling, or they'll know exactly where you are (processed locally, nothing is recorded or sent anywhere)
• Three difficulty levels, English and Spanish

Juego de terror en primera persona. La puerta se cierra detrás de ti: encuentra las 8 páginas del diario para escapar. Ella hace sus rondas y te ve si llevas la linterna encendida; el Ciego no ve, pero lo oye todo. Escóndete en armarios, bajo las camas o tras las cortinas, y lanza botellas para despistarlos o aturdirlos. El juego empieza en inglés: cámbialo a español en OPTIONS → LANGUAGE.
