Washout is a single-player, first-person horror game. Trapped in a flooded labyrinth inspired by the Bathroom Maze aesthetic, the player must find a way out while evading an unnatural threat — an anomalous Washing Machine whose behavior defies all logic. Each playthrough offers a unique experience thanks to procedurally generated levels. With limited visibility, sound becomes your most crucial ally — the acoustic environment is key to navigating and surviving. To avoid getting lost, the player can leave behind markers — bloody smears on the walls. But every mark comes at a cost, draining health and distorting perception, clouding both vision and judgment. Survival becomes a trade-off between maintaining orientation and preserving sanity. The game’s visual style draws inspiration from VHS and found footage aesthetics: grain, static, and analog artifacts intensify the atmosphere of unease and disorientation. Key Features Procedural Generation A unique maze layout in every session — no two playthroughs are the same. Unusual Antagonist An anomalous Washing Machine with erratic behavior and an ominous audio presence. Bloody Markers Leave traces to mark your path, but each one costs health and distorts perception, turning navigation into a painful gamble. VHS Aesthetic Tape glitches, grain, and analog noise simulate the look of a lost recording. Sound-Based Navigation Survival depends on your ears — listen carefully to find your way.
