I am looking for a horror themed room escape game I played on GamersHood.com around 2007-2008. In the game,you played as a young girl who comes home from school,only to find that there's no sign of your parents at home and there appears to be an intruder sneaking around. You had to solve room escape puzzles in the usual manner,but this game also had a twist in that you had to avoid the killer at the same time. The way this mechanic worked was that you would be given a small hint when the killer is nearby,whether that's a shadow,a reflection in a mirror,the sound of footsteps ect,and as soon as you see this hint you must move away,before he can grab you. If he grabs you,you die and you have to start over. I remember one the most obvious hints was when you entered your room,and the killer's shoes were poking out from under the bed. If you clicked to look under the bed,you would die. The game was extensively discussed on the GamersHood forums,as it proved to be quite difficult. The puzzles were quite difficult,plus combining that with the fact that you had to constantly be avoiding the killer made it almost impossible. I remember that players on GamersHood got stuck so badly that the actual creator of the game appeared in the thread to explain one of the puzzles so that some people could finally pass the game. The final part of the game is quite gruesome,I remember it involves you accessing the attic,where you discover the bloody,butchered bodies of your parents. You do something there up in the attic,one final puzzle,I don't remember exactly what it was but I think it might have involved removing something from the parent's bodies and a final confrontation with the killer. Then that's it,you've won. I believe this game is still somewhere on GamersHood.com,but it's quite difficult to find it when you don't know the name,as there are 12,000+ room escape games on the site. The game had a warning that it's for adults only on the forum post,and the thread was marked with a little icon of a stop sign,just like all threads with adult only games are. Just putting that out there in case it helps with the search. I would really love to find this game again,the whole mechanic of having to always watch out for the killer really created a unique,tense atmosphere to the game that not many other games have.
