About the Game
The Classrooms
The Classrooms is a procedural, liminal-space, found-footage, survival horror game. In 1996, Robert Chen took his VHS camcorder to the newly condemned local public school to investigate the disappearances of multiple students, including his younger sister. However, shortly after entering the premises, he finds himself lost in a senseless and seemingly infinite maze of halls and classrooms. Discover the contents of the tape he left behind. Explore The Classrooms and discover the various anomalies it contains; from malicious entities to harmless oddities. And remember, it's different every time you play, so your found footage is uniquely yours.Procedural World
The world of The Classrooms is fully procedural and different every time you play. Billions of possible layouts and procedural elements ensure a gameplay experience that's always full of surprises.Entities
Watch out for the various entities that reside within the world of The Classrooms. Entities range from harmless to extremely dangerous, thorough investigation into their various properties will be paramount if one wishes to survive. Every entity has a deep and unique set of mechanics that differentiates it from all others.Features
- Proximity Voice: Sound from your input device affects the game world. Making loud noise can reveal your location to certain entities, but maybe you can use your voice to your advantage.
- Inventory: Find and use various different types of items, codex entries, keys, and equipment. The items available to you might not be the same items available to another.
- Entities: Discover and survive the unique mechanics of each of the entities.

Color Mini Game Tweaks: position has been adjusted to avoid awkward corner spawns, and the reward spawn position is now easier to grab.

Dog Enhancements
Behavior Fixes: Big Dog should no longer get stuck. No longer gets stuck crawling after transforming in a vent.
