The Tall Man

About the game

Nine pages, one forest, zero daylight. The Tallman is on a timer, and you are the one who has to be done before it hits zero.

You wander between spindly pines, rusted cars and empty buildings, lit only by a harsh yellow beam held in a pinkish sleeve. That beam is the real problem. The more you rely on it, the less it has left, so the dark keeps winning a little more each minute. A corner of the screen shows pages found, charge left and a small map, and it is very easy to stare at it while something stands just past the edge of your light.

How to play

• Move with W A S D and turn your view with the mouse.
• Hold Shift to run when the clock gets scary.
• Find every one of the nine pages before the Tallman's countdown finishes.
• Keep an eye on the flashlight charge, because it drains as you go.
