Description

Step into the shadowy depths of "The Keeper's Lair," a gripping first-person suspense puzzle game that will test your wits and courage. Armed with only a flashlight, you must navigate through a treacherous maze shrouded in darkness, where every flicker of light could mean the difference between life and death. 

As the battery drains, so does your health, pushing you to make every second count in your desperate bid to escape. But the maze is not just a labyrinth of walls, it is a deadly playground for The Keeper, a sinister and mysterious figure who has littered the path with cunning traps designed to ensnare the unwary. 

Unravel the secrets of the lair, outsmart the traps, and stay one step ahead of the malevolent Keeper. Will you emerge from the darkness, or will you become another lost soul in The Keeper's Lair? The challenge awaits. 

Dare to enter?

I can hear music playing but the screen is blank.  Had to use task manager to exit. ??

Sounds like it's trying to load but running into an issue at launch. Make sure you meet the specs listed above. Can either try again or run as admin.

Hi all - there's been a reported issue with saving the game that I'm looking into. The game is still perfectly playable, it just may not save correctly at this time. I'll post an update as soon as that's corrected. If you experience any other issues please report them so I can get them fixed up. Enjoy
