BOUND_TO_THE_CARTEL

Early 2000s. You are a kidnapped chemistry professor forced to survive a single night. Enemies close in, paranoia rises, every second counts. Cook before time runs out… and maybe, just this once, let him cook.

<h2 class="bb_tag" >You Have One Night</h2>It’s 22:00. Until dawn, you will both stay alive and finish “the job.” On the edge of the city, dangers press into a three-room house. The ones waiting outside are impatient. The ones inside, drawn by the smell, are worse. Everything is compressed into a single night.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Story</h2>In the early 2000s, you were a regular chemistry professor when you were abducted. This house is your new life: kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom. The night starts at 22:00 and ends near sunrise… or ends you.The objective isn’t simple, but it’s clear: survive and complete the production.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Crystal (Production Loop)</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li>Stage by stage: Use the kitchen equipment to produce. Every step takes time, space, and generates sound/smell.</li><li>Risk vs. reward: Rush and your error rate spikes. Go slow and the night catches up to you.</li><li>Disaster chance: A wrong move can blow the mixture to pieces. Wear the mask, follow the order.</li><li>Resource management: Generator fuel, fuses, door locks, shutters… each one can shorten or prolong the night.</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >Don’t Die (Hide, Listen, Stay Quiet)</h2>This house isn’t safe. It only offers temporary hiding spots.<ul class="bb_ul"><li>Hiding: Under the bed, in the tub, in shadowed corners. Breathe in the wrong place and it’s over.</li><li>Perception model: Enemies react to light and odor. Report positions by radio; don’t waste movement.</li><li>One mistake is enough: This is challenge horror. If you die, there’s no save. The night resets.</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >Move (The Outside Is Watching You)</h2>Standing still isn’t an option.<ul class="bb_ul"><li>Observation: Peek through the blinds to scan for approachers; check the backyard.</li><li>Route planning: Time your room transitions. Leave doors unlocked and you invite trouble in.</li><li>Lock discipline: Unlock when you go out, lock when you return. A simple lapse ends the night.</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >Key Features</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li>One-night structure: Continuous tension from 22:00 to dawn.</li><li>Dynamic threats: Distinct enemy behaviors from inside and outside.</li><li>Systemic fear: Sound, light, smell, time… all work against you.</li><li>Risk-driven production: Tiered minigames; gain speed, raise the chance of error.</li><li>True challenge design: Permadeath, tight resource management, clear punishments.</li><li>Early Access: Regular updates to visuals, audio, and mechanics. Your feedback shapes the game.</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >How Do I Progress?</h2>There’s no “leveling up,” only mastery. The smarter you play the same night, the farther you go. Achievements, tactic discovery, practice… it’s all on you.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Content Warning</h2>Contains drug themes, intense tension, and depictions of violence.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Support</h2>Multilingual UI and subtitles.
