13iew

Ever get that feeling you're being watched? In 13iew, a creepy puzzle game from GMD Studio, that feeling is probably right. You play as a young girl who wakes up, totally alone, in the dusty basement of an abandoned hospital. Your only goal is to escape. The catch? A sinister doctor is lurking in the shadows, and he doesn't seem to want you to leave.

The game unfolds across three distinct chapters, each dripping with its own eerie vibe. What's really cool is that the environment isn't just for show you'll find little clues and bits of foreshadowing scattered all over the place, hinting at a darker story waiting to be pieced together.

Where 13iew gets really clever is with its perspective. This isn't your standard side scroller. You constantly need to switch between a first person view and a classic side view to solve puzzles. One moment you're looking around a room up close, searching drawers and reading notes, and the next you're jumping across platforms from the side. It makes you think differently; some objects you can only mess with when you're in first person, while others are for the side view. It takes a minute to get the hang of the controls with this constant switching, but once you do, it feels like a really smart puzzle mechanic.

As you sneak past the doctor and tinker with strange devices you find, you'll start to uncover the truth. Why were you left here? What's the doctor's deal? The game slowly feeds you the story through these discoveries, making the escape feel personal. If you're into games that give you the chills and a good brain teaser, 13iew delivers a spooky, atmospheric adventure that'll hook you until the very end.
