NEKRO3 is a ruthless arcade in the dark. Traps await at every step. Your corpses light the way and turn into enemies. You live for seconds, die hundreds of times. All to an atmospheric soundtrack.

Descend into darkness. Every death leaves a mark.
NEKRO3 is a dark 2D horror-puzzle game with stealth elements. You are terminally ill. Somewhere in the depths lies a stone that can heal. But the deeper you go, the more you die. And every death becomes your enemy.

Death is a mechanic Each time you die, your glowing corpse stays behind. It can come back — as a zombie.

You are your own worst enemy A unique foe — a negative version of yourself — hunts your reanimated bodies and wants to take your place.

No weapons. Only traps Outsmart enemies using the environment. Survive through trickery, not violence.
Multiple enemy types Zombies follow light, shadows lurk in darkness, and some creatures only move when unseen.

Glitches and distortions Visual glitches, red flashes, audio corruption — fear is woven into the interface.

15 unique levels From puzzles and false exits to moments where you become the zombie. Inspired by Level Devil

Inspired by Lone Survivor, LIMBO Short, intense experience: 1.5–3 hours on your first playthrough.
NEKRO3 isn’t just a game. It’s a descent into darkness — and a search for light.
This game was created during my battle with a serious illness. It’s a personal story — about fear, acceptance, and the search for healing — told through gameplay. If LIMBO is about a boy in hell, NEKRO3 is about the hell inside.
