Gameplay
The game relies on sound feedback to inform the user of two entities in the map; the exit and a cursed doll. The user's goal is to make it to the outside world by following the exit's sound, before the cursed doll can catch up with them.The user moves one tile at a time in any of four directions (left, right, forward, or turn backward) and is periodically updated with both sounds to distinguish the location of the goal and doll. Each time player move one tile, the doll will also move one tile. The doll is also able to move without depending on the player's movement if the player doesn't move for a long time. If the doll notify the player, the doll will move twice its original speed. The game is over when the doll succeed approaching the player. While escaping, players are required to hide at the same time to avoid the doll to notify the player.
