Level 0 Engine · Procedural Liminal Horror

The dark is not empty.

A procedural liminal-space horror game running natively in the browser on WebGL. The maze, textures, audio, and narrative are all generated at runtime from a seed. Find the breakers, settle the truth, and escape before your sanity fractures.

Architecture & Engine

Built for the web, native to the browser.

The engine runs entirely on native ES6 modules and WebGL via Three.js. O(1) Spatial Hash Grid collisions and zero-allocation scratch vectors maintain silky 60fps, while dynamic lighting uses a fixed hardware shadow-caster pool with hysteresis to eliminate popping.

Procedural Acoustics & Post-Processing Dynamic Chromatic Aberration, CRT scanlines, and claustrophobic vignettes tied directly to the Anomaly's proximity pressure. Live DSP shifts room tones and physically muffles sounds when occluded by walls.

The rules of the labyrinth

How to survive

The facility generated a unique cold case just for you. Find notes, laptops, and tapes to unravel it. Unverified documents burden your mind. You must corroborate claims by finding matching evidence in entirely different sectors.

  1. 0x01

    Manage your sanity

    The Flashlight

    The dark is dangerous. Unverified claims and roaming in pitch black will accumulate as tension, reducing your maximum flashlight charge. Settle claims to restore your sanity limit. If your psyche fractures past 50%, expect hallucinations.

  2. 0x02

    Avoid the hunter

    The Anomaly

    It hunts via line-of-sight and sound. It feeds on panic. The more exhausted you are, the faster it pursues. Catching it in your flashlight beam will freeze it in place, but it will anger it. If it catches you, reality will mutate and rebuild around a new cold case.

  3. 0x03

    Survive the zones

    Sector Hazards

    Different zones harbor unique threats. In the Incinerator, don't look away from the Ember. In the Archive, the Archivist drifts at a distance. Don't sprint at it. In the Atrium, keep moving through the aisles — linger too long without a shelf overhead and a mechanical claw drops from the ceiling.

  4. 0x04

    Restore the grid

    Surge Breakers

    To power the exit elevator, you must locate and engage three highly rare Dimensional Switches hidden in the labyrinth. Pulling a breaker plunges the sector into a pitch-black reboot sequence before stabilizing the grid.

  5. 0x05

    Submit the truth

    The Endgame

    Once you have the breakers and the elevator key, the exit will dynamically construct itself in the next unvisited sector. The terminal demands the Finding of Fact. Submit the correct verdict based on the evidence. File the truth to escape; file wrong, and the void takes you.
