The Stifling Dark (English)

The Stifling Dark is a one-versus-many hidden-move horror board game with an innovative line-of-sight mechanic for 2-5 players. One player takes on the role of the adversary, whose goal is to prevent the other players (the investigators) from escaping through a variety of unique actions. As an investigator, your only objectives are to survive and escape.
- Investigators move around the board from point to point using their base movement speed. They may run to move faster, but they must control their stamina so as not to exhaust themselves. Additionally, investigators can pick up and use objects, lock and unlock doors, or use their flashlights to try to find the adversary. Meanwhile, the opponent secretly moves around the board, trying to prevent the investigators from escaping. There are a variety of investigators to choose from, each with their own special skills. The opponent also has multiple attacks and abilities that change the way you play.
- Will you fix the car and get out, or will you bypass the door and try to escape? The investigators will have to decide if they want to stay together to take care of each other or separate to run for the exit. Either way, they must move quickly: the longer the game goes on, the more chances the opponent will have to stop them!
- The game ends when all the investigators escape (which means the investigators won) or the opponent achieves their victory condition (which is different for each opponent).
