—The Proponent is a first-person horror where you take on the role of a man trapped in a high-rise building and try to find a way out.
Hello everyone. I invite you to play The Proponent - a first-person horror that focuses on the atmosphere and the presentation of the story through the details. I tried to avoid the extreme, when the narrative is presented only through notes and audio files, although I decided not to leave the game without them, sometimes it is a really good way to tell a part of the story. Something bad happened to the building in which the protagonist settled some time ago: the doors were sealed, the rooms were mixed together like a deck of cards. Strange creatures began to inhabit these places, few survivors trying to survive and get out

Explore the premises. Skillfully use weapons and save ammunition

Use the "Mirror" to see what is hidden from the ordinary eye

Some creatures are better to avoid, others are worth interacting with

Get to the finals and learn more about the world the main character is in, save yourself

There are no saves in the game! If you are dead, you are reborn at the key point, but only while playing the game. This little experience (about 2 hours) is continuous.
