Panelak is an old socialist-era building where strange things happen. Can you make it to the roof and help the helpless man?
You find yourself in front of an apartment building in the middle of the forest (how did it even get here?) and see a man calling for help. What will be your next move?
Solve puzzles, search for items, hide from danger, and above all, FOLLOW THE RULES. Don’t know what they are? Find the list, and if you want to survive, stick to it.
Panelak is a horror adventure game that takes you to the familiar environment of a socialist apartment block. Will it bring to you nostalgia and comfort, or disgust and fear?
