SUITBORN

Suitborn places players inside a high-risk facility during an overnight shift that quickly spirals into a fight for survival. You take on the role of an ordinary worker expected to complete a set of maintenance tasks. But something is wrong. The lights don’t stay on. The air feels heavy. And in the distance, something enormous moves without warning. You don’t have weapons, and you won’t find any. Your only chance of survival is to complete your tasks quietly, stay in the dark, and avoid drawing the attention of the creature that stalks the halls.

Light is Both a Tool and a Threat

The core gameplay in Suitborn revolves around how you use light and manage fear. Flashlights help you see and interact with the environment, but they also reveal your position. The creature reacts quickly to light, movement, and sound. Every moment spent visible increases your risk. At the same time, the game tracks your anxiety. As the threat gets closer or you stay in the dark too long, your character becomes more stressed. High anxiety triggers louder breathing and less stable control, which can make stealth nearly impossible. Managing your own stress becomes just as important as completing objectives.

Main Systems to Master:

•         A flashlight that assists but exposes
•         A real-time anxiety meter that affects player control
•         Emotes that calm nerves and reduce detection risk
•         Environmental tasks that must be completed to survive
•         Night vision gear as an optional upgrade
•         Limited safe areas where the creature doesn’t roam

These systems make Suitborn feel like a series of calculated risks. Nothing comes easy—every tool has a consequence, and every success feels earned through caution and planning.

Tension in Numbers

Playing with others in Suitborn changes the experience significantly. Teams of up to four players can tackle the facility together, allowing for faster task completion and mutual support. But more players also means more movement, more noise, and a higher chance of being found. If one player panics or shines their light at the wrong time, it can cost the entire group. The game encourages silent coordination, patience, and role distribution—one player scouts, another finishes tasks, and the rest manage spacing and timing. Without teamwork, even experienced players can fail.

Last Light Before Morning

Suitborn doesn’t offer power-ups, combat, or an expanding narrative. Its strength lies in simplicity and pressure. You’re placed in a space with limited tools, minimal instructions, and a real threat that punishes mistakes. Whether alone or with others, the goal is always the same: survive the shift and make it out alive. Every match builds tension slowly, and success depends entirely on how well you read the environment and control your fear. In Suitborn, the creature isn’t your only enemy—sometimes, it’s your own panic that ends the run.
