Hachi: Eight Feet Tall

Hachi: Eight Feet Tall immerses players in a psychological survival game inspired by folklore horror. You are trapped in a narrow maze of corridors and decaying urban structures, stalked by a tall, silent entity known as Hachi. Every decision you make, every sound you trigger, and every moment of hesitation may lead to an encounter. The goal is simple — escape. But Hachi never stops.

Evading a Constant Presence

Each level in Hachi: Eight Feet Tall is designed around one mechanic: being watched. Hachi doesn’t run or chase in the traditional sense — she listens, appears, and follows. Players must navigate indoor spaces while managing noise levels, light exposure, and proximity sensors. Unlike other survival titles, movement is slow and calculated.

• Sound-based detection — every step echoes
• Unpredictable AI — Hachi’s routes change based on your behavior
• Claustrophobic environments with multiple locked paths

Tools That Delay, Not Destroy

The game doesn’t offer weapons — only temporary solutions. You can use noise traps to redirect Hachi, flare lights to pause her approach, and ancient charms to block hallways. But nothing lasts long. The challenge lies in managing limited resources under growing pressure, especially as you enter the later levels where Hachi grows more aggressive.

• Charms and talismans to create safe zones
• Map pieces that reveal optimal escape routes
• Flashlight mechanics with limited battery and flickering effects

Gameplay Shifts Over Time

Hachi: Eight Feet Tall gradually evolves. The early stages are quiet, giving a false sense of calm. Mid-game introduces visual hallucinations, fake exit doors, and echoing whispers that mislead players. Later levels distort time and perception — Hachi might appear behind you after blinking. To reach the final exit, you must learn to move when it feels least safe.

This game delivers a stealth-based survival experience that relies on tension, planning, and patience. Hachi: Eight Feet Tall is not about fighting back — it’s about staying calm while being hunted by something that never speaks but never stops.
