Denial takes place inside your own dark mind, true or false, illusion or reality... It doesn't matter. It all feels the same and the stains on the walls still remain, maybe now it is time to clean them.
ADDITIONAL STORY - Survival mode - FREE DLC This DLC is an expansion to the DENIAL story in the form of a survival mode. Hide and don't get caught, survive in the center of the fear, can you make it to the final night? In this DLC you will need to turn off radios scattered around your home by following the sound they make so you can finally sleep. Shutting them down won't be easy, as while you hunt for the radios you become hunted yourself... In this story we wanted to focus more on the gaming experience and action, and not as much on the story itself, in contrast to the main story mode for DENIAL. We decided to add it as a DLC for free so all players can enjoy it. DLC features: •Survival mode, a brand new map with a brand new set of objectives, you'll have to find the most effective way to get what you need, if you want to live.

• A new AI, smarter, faster and deadlier. You can run, but you can't run far, and you can hide, but you can't hide for long... Can you survive until the end?

• Short story - not everything is as it seems, as you progress things will become clearer and clearer, can you find the right path?

*THIS DLC WILL BE AVAILABLE IMMINENTLY TO ALL PLAYERS UPON RELEASE.
Look inside, your dark mind is fighting against your soul, your conscience can't pick a side and fear is standing against logic. What if after too much pressure you pass out, you see nothing but black, slowly you find what is dark and what is darker yet sleeping well? What if everything you believed in was proven to be a lie? Everything you have been ignoring is coming back to get you, shouting at you that they are real. And what if you don't wake up? You keep living the same nightmare over and over only because you are deeply lost inside your own mind, only because you are too weak to handle your fears. They took it from us, our identity, our face! I am here to make sure to bring it all back... I remember how that liquid was a stain from the walls to the floor while you walked in those halls, feeling the safety of my world under it's shell. You were free, not exposed to the savagery of the outside. You knew the truth but you looked for more, this creation wasn't enough, we made that shell and you began melting it bit by bit, slowly peeling one layer after the other, leaving only a black hole of nothing. It's gone too far. After all, you are part of them. In this game you play an unstable man, you will wander between walls that trap his mind and you will go deep into places you have never seen before. The environment will be inconsistent, at first you might explore the brighter areas of his mind, but as you go deeper it gets darker, illusions and voices are everywhere. Denial is the hard work of two brothers who worked tirelessly to bring their dream to life and they couldn't be more proud of it. We invite you to take a visit into the madness, to face the truth.

"I AM A COSTUME, SHELL, SHADOW. BUT THAT'S OKAY, I AM THE ONE THEY CAN SEE AND YOU WERE LEFT TO FEEL IT" Game features: • Story driven psychological horror - your sanity is fluctuating, your brain betrays you and you are losing it without your pills. • See the big picture - there are pieces scattered everywhere, can you find them and finish the puzzle? • Multiple endings - which one will you choose? Every choice comes with its own consequences.
