You're not the only one who's been tested. Scattered posters, broken machinery… and something still moving. You won't proceed unless you find it.

The heart of "10-Second Rule" lies in tension and awareness. Act within 10 seconds. The door opens after 10 seconds. You have 3 seconds to escape—or start all over again. But each reset... something changes.

This facility contains countless numbered rooms. 1, 2, 3... the further you go, the closer something comes. Will reaching Room 10 lead to freedom? Or is that where the real nightmare begins...?

The idea for 10-Second Rule was born from a personal struggle—feeling stuck in the endless loop of daily life. After a routine day of university, I realized how repetitive everything felt. Then, I watched a speedrun video online. Seeing a player clear a challenge in just seconds inspired a thought:
“What if a game could be resolved in just 10 seconds?”
That idea lit a spark, and I began developing 10-Second Rule. My goal was to deliver intense tension and rapid-fire satisfaction in a game anyone could pick up. I can't wait to see how players experience it.
