The premise of the game is simple - a horror game in which you, the player, are trapped in a house (with a few creepy hooded guys) and have to escape. The twist comes from the core gameplay mechanic - movement controls are exactly the same as (or similar to) Google Earth's Street Mode. In other words, you are locked in place, can only turn the camera horizontally, and can only move if you move between rooms. The goal of the game is to obtain the key to the house's front door while avoiding the hooded people stalking throughout the house, because if one of them catches you, it's game over and you must retry the whole game. It's short and sweet if you know what you're doing, but let's be honest - no one does. I may be making this later down the line in collaboration with @dehsmonder
