No Way Out

What if every step forward was a choice you could never take back?

No Way Out is a short, first-person psychological horror game made for the Callidus Jam. You awaken in a strange, oppressive structure where the only way to move is forward. Every door you open slams shut and locks behind you, forever. There is no backtracking, no second chances only the consequences of your choices pushing you deeper into an endless, twisting maze.

This is my take on the theme, "The Odds Are Against You." Here, the odds don't just get worse, the core mechanic ensures they systematically disappear. Every door closed is a path lost, an option erased.

The real horror isn't some monster in the shadows. It's the suffocating feeling that you're an active participant in building your own cage, and the growing dread that there might truly be no way out.

Gameplay & Instructions:

• Explore a dark, atmospheric environment.
