THROB is a psychological horror platformer where a living brutalist nightmare reacts to your fear. As your heartbeat accelerates, blood rises, the architecture awakens, and the climb becomes increasingly unstable.

A nightmare fueled by fear. THROB is a first-person psychological horror platformer set inside a colossal brutalist structure pulsing like a living heart. Trapped within a nightmare shaped by her own hemophobia, a young woman must climb toward an unknown exit before panic consumes her completely. <h2 class="bb_tag" ><img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4887550/extras/e80f33f0f61b5416da041d4a611d6898.avif?t=1782834686" width=1170 height=94 /></h2><video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4887550/extras/fc25c9b8454ace8911e5bf5d1d25e408.poster.avif?t=1782834686" width=1170 height=658 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4887550/extras/fc25c9b8454ace8911e5bf5d1d25e408.webm?t=1782834686" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4887550/extras/fc25c9b8454ace8911e5bf5d1d25e408.mp4?t=1782834686" type="video/mp4"></video>As your heartbeat accelerates, the structure reacts.
