Trick Nor Treat

Halloween was supposed to be about getting candy. You picked the wrong house.

In Trick Nor Treat , you play as a kid whose Halloween night takes a terrifying turn after entering a strange, run-down house. A trapdoor sends you into a mysterious world connected by a hallway of locked doors. Behind each door waits a new environment—and something from folklore waiting in the darkness.

Trick Nor Treat combines survival horror with educational exploration, introducing players to folkloric creatures, legends, and history from cultures around the world. As you explore each environment, the knowledge you uncover isn't just background information—it's an important part of surviving and progressing through the game.

To escape, you'll need more than courage. Explore each area, uncover clues, learn about the history and legends surrounding the supernatural entities you encounter, and survive long enough to determine what is hunting you.

Explore Folklore From Around the World

Each level introduces players to supernatural entities inspired by folklore from different cultures and regions. Through exploration, players can discover the history, legends, characteristics, and cultural stories associated with these creatures while experiencing them within an interactive horror setting.

Information plaques and environmental discoveries provide educational details while also helping you distinguish one possible entity from another. What you learn matters: understanding the folklore behind each creature can help you interpret clues and determine what may be hunting you.

Investigate the Legends

Explore unsettling environments filled with clues and information about ghosts and cryptids drawn from folklore. Pay attention to what you discover. Information plaques act as guides throughout each level, teaching you about the folklore, history, and identifying characteristics of possible supernatural entities.

Use that knowledge alongside environmental clues to narrow down what may be hunting you. Learning isn't separate from the experience— it's part of how you survive.

Your Flashlight Is Your Defense

You're not completely helpless.

Your flashlight can drive back supernatural threats, but its battery won't last forever. Search the environment for replacement batteries and decide carefully when you need the light and when you can risk the darkness.

Run when you need to. Defend yourself when you can. And listen carefully—crying, footsteps, breaking branches, whispers, and other sounds may warn you that you're no longer alone. Sound is deliberately used to build tension before encounters rather than relying entirely on constant jump scares.

Learn. Deduce. Survive.

Reaching the end of a level isn't enough.

You'll need to apply what you've learned about folklore, history, and the supernatural entity you've encountered to identify what has been following you. Choose correctly to unlock more stories and continue your journey toward escape. Make too many mistakes, and whatever has been hunting you gets the final say.
