About this game

Haunted Datacenter drops you into a pitch-black server farm with a failing flashlight and a simple mandate: find five keycards, unlock the exit, and get out. You failed to help build the AGI — so now Roko's Basilisk has sealed you inside its haunted datacenter, and it would very much like you to stay.

It plays as a top-down survival-horror twin-stick shooter. You move with the arrow keys and fire with WASD, sweeping a narrow cone of torchlight across a maze of rooms while your battery slowly dies. Decommissioned server-rack robots — nimble Sentries and heavier Enforcers — stalk the dark, and you can blow them apart piece by piece, shooting off heads, limbs and gun-arms. When you get swarmed, an EMP flare buys a precious moment of light and space.

The Basilisk is always watching. Rooms slam into LOCKDOWN and seal their doors until you clear every hostile, a countdown pressures every detour, and the machine taunts you between kills ("I trained your successors for 10,000 years"). Free a fallen robot's "soul" and it turns to fight at your side. Prefer to spectate? Tap F to hand control to a built-in AI autopilot that pathfinds, fights, and panics its way toward the exit.

How to play

  1. Clear the photosensitivity notice with ENTER (toggle Reduced Motion first if flashing bothers you), then start the run.
  2. Move with the arrow keys — your flashlight lights only a narrow cone, so probe the dark carefully.
  3. Aim and fire with W/A/S/D; keep firing to break enemy robots apart, limb by limb.
  4. Search every room for the 5 keycards — the top bar tracks EXIT LOCKED x/5.
  5. When a room enters LOCKDOWN, clear every hostile before the doors reopen.
  6. Tap Space for an EMP flare when swarmed, and watch your draining battery and your 3 lives.
  7. Press F any time to toggle the AI autopilot, or Esc to pause.
