Rinse And Repeat

Rinse And Repeat is a retro-inspired first-person horror game that taps into the primal fear of vulnerability while one’s eyes are closed during a shower.

As the game progresses, the mundane task of washing hair becomes a moment of acute suspense as players must close their eyes, heightening the sense of imminent threat.
