Obey to survive
PAGER is a first-person psychological horror game that unfolds in evocative 1-bit 3D visuals reminiscent of Kafka’s eerie absurdity and surreal works like The Stanley Parable. On your first day at work, you must obey a mysterious pager to survive and ascend the corporate hierarchy across 60 bizarre and beautifully designed floors.
You will encounter oddities like caffeine-addicted butterflies, a room with many eyes, an office hallway where a sudden, rapid train passes, and much more. This game features customizable palette and glow settings. However, the minimalistic 1-bit style and abstract storytelling didn’t resonate with all players, especially those preferring traditional horror or realism.
Echoes of dread in black and white
PAGER is a visually striking, surreal horror experience blending Kafkaesque absurdity with minimalist 1-bit aesthetics. Its eerie office setting, bizarre encounters, and mysterious pager-driven gameplay offer a unique take on psychological horror. While not for everyone, it rewards players seeking atmospheric, unconventional storytelling and experimental visuals in a haunting corporate world.
