Hide-A free retro horror game

If you enjoyed the horror game Slender, you should enjoy this retro 3D
adventure *Hide*. It's a similar game, but with a very different look, and
the monsters are different. This game was created for an indie competition at
Super Friendship Club, with the theme of Justice. Hide begins, much like
Slender, in a dark forest. There are sirens in the distance, and it's
snowing. Your task is to find five locations - every time you find one,
someone (or something?) will come looking for you. The controls are simple, a
basic mouse/keyboard set up to move around. The Space key lets you hide
(crouch), although you can't hide in plain site of your pursuer, or you will
be caught. The sound effects are creepy, and the sound of your breathing
really adds to the tension. The graphics in Hide are solidly 8-bit retro,
which I like, but are not to everyone's tastes. They are very atmospheric
though, and the light of your pursuer is especially well done, and very nerve
wracking! *Can you find all five locations in Hide? See if you can hold it
together long enough!*Download *Hide* in Softonic
