Where Am I? is the newest project by indie developer Mark “AgentParsec” Hadley, creator of the hit shiver-fest Slender. As part of Ludum Dare’s 48-hour game jam, where developers gather to craft games over the course of a weekend, Where Am I? mirrors Slender’s straightforwardness, mounting foreboding, and less-is-more scare factor. The disorientation grows as you walk, your vision scrambling with a static effect and hallways seemingly opening and closing on their own. It results in a better-than-coffee wakeup jolt of terror — an impressive feat, considering I’m sitting in a brightly lit office in the middle of the day.
