Three Things Behind You

Chronicles of Hellsborough and The Dark Peak, book one

Three Things Behind You is a top-down stealth survival game set in the fog-shrouded terrain of the Wisewood. Choose three denizens from the Dark Peak bestiary — then navigate ten levels of procedurally generated corridors and try to reach the exit before they reach you. You know what you picked. You know what they do. That's the only advantage you've got.

How to Play

Move through fog-shrouded terrain using WASD or the arrow keys. Your stats are:

  • Sprint — hold Shift to double your speed for one second. Three second cooldown. Use it wrong and you'll regret it.
  • Food — each item acts as a hit point. Getting caught costs you one. Carrying food increases monster detection range, so there's always a cost.
  • Stare — stand still, face a monster, hold line of sight within 300 units to weaken it. Slows the creature to 60% speed. Risky if others are close.

Each monster hunts differently. The three you chose are already behind you.

Objective

Find the exit on each of the ten levels and reach it without getting caught. Clear all ten and you've escaped Hellsborough, S6 — or at least the part of it that wanted you dead.

Each level adds more of the same monsters. By level ten, you'll know exactly why you picked wrong.

Classic run: Barker, Corvid & Demonspawn

The Hunter

Fast. Sight-based pursuit. If it sees you, it chases.

The Listener

Tracks sound, not vision. Sprinting is dangerous.

The Lurker

Appears when too close. Blocks your escape.

The Blinker

Teleports randomly. You'll never know where it appears next.

The Warden

Patrols a fixed route. Slow but inevitable. Blocks your path.

The Hungry

Slow at first. Gets faster every 10 seconds. Don't take your time.
