Description

How long will your light last?

You awake in the dark, your skin cold, your mind blank. You have nothing but your fear, a flickering candle, and a question: How long will your night last?

The Night Cage is a cooperative, horror-themed, tile-placement game that traps 1 to 5 lost souls within an otherworldly labyrinth of eternal darkness. Equipped with nothing but dim candles, you must work together to explore the maze and escape.

To win, players must each collect a Key, find a Gate, and escape as a group. But escape won't be easy. The weak glow of your candle sheds light on only a small area of the maze at a time. As players move, new pathways are revealed while old ones disappear forever into the darkness, creating an ever-changing play space that requires teamwork and collective strategy to navigate.
