Steam Store description

Welcome to Why? , an immersive horror game where fantasy and futuristic technology collide in the heart of a cursed mansion. Sent to retrieve protected data, you discover a place where blood has been spilled and where the very walls conspire against you. Its corridors twist and transform into shifting labyrinths, erasing every landmark. An implacable presence roams, itself searching for answers. With no weapons, no defense, all you can do is run, hide, and pray it doesn’t find you.
