Arisa and her group of friends came to the caves out of curiosity, drawn by the stories about what lurks in the tunnels beneath the old mansion on the hill. Curiosity has a way of becoming something else very quickly in places like this. Arisa wakes alone in a cave, separated from everyone, with no memory of how she got there and no certainty about where the others are. Creeping Terror is a horror adventure game played from a top-down perspective, focused on evading a monster rather than confronting it, with Arisa's survival depending on stealth, puzzle-solving, and never stopping long enough to find out how close the creature actually is.
