Locks

Locks is a horror puzzle-platformer set in a puppet show. The game features a new type of puzzle, and the evil doesn’t chase the puppet, as it usually does in platformers, it chases you.

GAMEPLAY – Puzzles: They are the core of the game. You can rotate, move, and even flip the stage or individual props. Boss Battles: You’ll face off against bosses like a Ferris wheel, pipes, and, for example, a giant jaw. The game doesn’t hold your hand. You’ll have to re-analyze the logic in each room.

HORROR – The game’s storytelling style shifts as the plot progresses, moving from a Tim Burton-esque fairy tale to a horror style like Junji Ito’s. It feels like a collaborative horror animated film by these two masters. You’ll have to deal with the puppeteer’s frequent appearances, but don’t forget about the props, they have eyes too.

MUSIC – Each action, every step you take, is accompanied by classical instruments. The music is primarily dark and fairy tale-like. During truly scary scenes, it transforms into chaotic, off-key playing, like a saxophone solo gone wild.
