Constriction is a turn-based word guessing strategy game where you must solve unknown word prompts faster than your opponent. Each correctly guessed letter tightens the noose of the person on the other end. First to suffocate loses.
Make educated guesses and recognize patterns to stay alive. Guessing a letter that appears more than once, or guessing the full word using the buzzer will loosen your noose. Being incorrect will naturally have the opposite effect. Be accurate and use your time wisely as too many typos, or the timer running out, will send you to an early grave.
After each victory, choose between two random Totems that will affect the next round. Sometimes the choice may be obvious, other times you may need to choose one of two evils.
After the game's initial campaign, you can challenge yourself by activating curses that serve to make the experience much more difficult. How long can you hold out under the pressure?
Beyond the single player modes, Constriction also features a 1-versus-1 multiplayer mode . Test your skills against your slowly suffocating friends. Enjoy visual customization and multiplayer-exclusive features such as the ability to add custom words to keep the experience fresh and personalized!
