Nox Timore is a short first‑person horror game that focuses on unsettling exploration. You move through a series of dimly lit rooms and corridors, collecting keys to progress. The path is linear, but each step feels more uncomfortable as the environment shifts.

The game is known for its abrupt jump scares. You will see figures appear suddenly in front of you or at the far end of a hallway. Doors that were open before may be locked when you turn around. The atmosphere relies on simple textures, shadows, and silence broken by sharp sounds.

Game Flow

You begin in a small, empty room. A single door leads to the next area, where you find your first key. From here, you walk forward, unlock doors, and trigger events that change the layout. The game never explains who or what is following you, but its presence becomes more obvious with each new section.

Core Actions

• Move with WASD.
• Interact with E to pick up keys or open doors.
• Follow the only available path to progress.

Tips and Cheats

Look in every corner — keys are sometimes placed in spots you might overlook. Expect something to happen after picking up important items. Do not rush forward after a scare; sometimes the next one comes immediately. The official release has no cheat codes. Some unofficial versions remove jump scares or unlock all doors, but they remove the core tension of Nox Timore.
