About CUFFED
CUFFED is a tense, combat-free survival horror game where your greatest restraint may be your only means of survival.
You awaken as Alisa, a test subject trapped deep inside a ruined underground research facility. Your wrists are permanently bound by a rigid, unbreakable mechanical cuff. Unable to wield conventional weapons, you must navigate the collapsing containment complex using your wits—and the very device keeping you captive.
Key Features
Your Restraint Is Your Key
The mechanical cuff doubles as a universal access device. Read its LED indicators, locate synchronization chambers, and upgrade its clearance level to access increasingly restricted areas of the facility.
Systemic Logic Puzzles
Bypass complex security systems to survive. Reroute circuits, reconfigure power boxes, and override emergency protocols to create new paths through the facility.
Carry Only One Item
With your hands locked together, you can carry only one item at a time. Every tool you take—and every item you leave behind—can change how you approach the rooms ahead.
Combat-Free Stealth
You cannot fight the specimens roaming the corridors. Stay low, hide in the shadows, crawl through ventilation shafts, and evade your pursuers through careful positioning and environmental awareness.
Descend Through Three Distinct Sectors
Learn the facility’s rules in the sterile White Lab, navigate the failing infrastructure of the Flooded Lab, and uncover the truth within the pitch-black corridors of the Dark Lab.
Someone unexpected is watching your every move from the surface—and the world outside may already be gone.
Can you overcome the facility’s systems and escape from the depths, or will you remain trapped below forever?
