About This Game
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.
Key Features:
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
Minimalist and grim
Inspired by Lone Survivor, LIMBO
Short, intense experience: 1.5–3 hours on your first playthrough.
Who is this for?
Fans of experimental horror with unique mechanics
Players who enjoy non-combat stealth gameplay
Anyone interested in games that explore death as a theme
NEKRO3 isn’t just a game. It’s a descent into darkness — and a search for light.
About the Developer
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.
