Overview
Zaru plunges players into a chilling first-person horror experience set in a 1980s American warehouse. As a lone worker tasked with locking up for the night, you quickly discover you are not alone. Unseen entities lurk between the shelves, and conventional methods of perception are useless against them. The core gameplay loop revolves around a unique mechanic: to detect these beings, you must intentionally sacrifice one of your senses – sight, hearing, or speech – to heighten another, allowing for a different kind of awareness.
