'Stay' follows the experience of a motel maid, Cas, as she becomes entangled in a twisted tale of obsession, love, and terror. Unbeknownst to her, a deranged stalker harbors a dangerous infatuation with Cas, leading to a series of threatening letters and a deadly game of survival. Throughout the game, the player receives letters that reveal her stalker's twisted perception of affection and his increasing desperation to possess Cas. Letters written to Cas by her stalker include disturbing messages written to real women, collected by the developer through multiple surveys. As such, the content in the game may be disturbing to read and experience. Those who are triggered by mentions/depictions of assault should not play. 'Stay' aims to simulate a PSX survival horror game, utilizing stationary 3rd person cameras and tank controls (the way it's meant to be played) and is intended to be played with a controller. The option to play with a dynamic camera exists, but should be a last resort. You can stealth and hide through it, or collect weapons to fight back, it's up to you. Exploration influences multiple endings. Features: Clearly outlined objectives Low poly PSX stylized graphics Third person stationary cameras (optional, but recommended) Tank controls (optional, but recommended) Gore Survival and stealth elements 4 different ending possibilities, based on how you play 


Notes: -Language -Blood -Excessive violence -Disturbing real-life messages including allusion to sexual violence - Nudity (Veiled, or in the form of paintings & covered photographs) without exposed female nipples or genitalia - You will likely see an uncomfortable start to an implied sexual assault, and aftermath if you choose to interpret it as such (I say this because my own interpretation is that there is visible blood from a cut on the protagonists upper leg, but I understand some may perceive this event differently). This can be triggering for those who are sensitive to heavy handed S/A depictions.
