Creeping Terror

Creeping Terror is an Adventure Horror game developed by SUSHI TYPHOON GAMES for the Nintendo 3DS and was released on January 18, 2017. An abandoned mansion has recently been the subject of monster sightings and rumored disappearances among students. Arisa, a Japanese exchange student living in America, journeys to the mansion alongside her school friends, Bob, Emily; who is Bob’s sister, and her supposed “loverboy”, Ken, at the bequest of Bob.

Bob wishes to film an online video of the mansion and wants a “cute girl in a uniform” in it to rack in views. After entering the mansion, an earthquake causes part of the flooring to cave in, and Arisa falls into the caves below the mansion, separated from the others, and without cell phone reception. While attempting to escape the caves, she encounters a shovel-wielding “monster”, who subsequently stalks her to attempt to kill her. Arisa ultimately encounters Emily and the two escape into the mansion above.

Players control Arisa through mapped locations, primarily consisting of an abandoned mansion and hospital, to progress the narrative and locate a method of escape. While exploring, the player may encounter one of several hostile figures intent on murdering, or otherwise stalking, Arisa. The player must escape from the figure by running away, and can throw the hostile figure off by hiding in one of the many “hiding spots”. The player’s only method of attack is throwing items which can temporarily stun a hostile.

While she is being chased, Arisa has a stamina meter that decreases as she runs. If her stamina runs out entirely, she will not be able to run until it has fully recharged. Her total stamina also suffers a permanent decrease when Arisa takes damage. If caught by a hostile the players take damage and must fight back to avoid getting killed outright. The lower Arisa’s health is the harder it becomes to fight back when caught.
