About PANICORE

PANICORE poster

PANICORE casts you as an urban explorer with a taste for dangerously abandoned places. For people like you, the thrill lies in uncovering lost art, forgotten treasures and derelict buildings, schools and other sites the world has left behind. But this particular location is one the authorities themselves warn against, and when curiosity wins out over caution, the adventure takes a terrifying turn.

What begins as exploration quickly becomes a fight to escape. An unforeseen event traps the explorers inside, with unknown forces sealing every exit. As fear takes hold and the realization dawns that they are not alone, the group must work together to endure the horrors within and find a way out before time runs out. Solving puzzles, navigating dangerous corridors and outwitting a monster that means to trap you all become urgent matters of survival.

As an indie action-adventure horror experience on PC, PANICORE leans into cooperative tension. Challenges offer multiple distinct escape routes, and you can attempt them alone or team up with friends in intense co-op play. A relentless, AI-driven monster hunts by sound, reacting to your every step, so hiding and using your surroundings becomes essential. The result is an immersive game of hide-and-seek where staying quiet may be the difference between escape and doom.
