The setting of the game is the Dead Soul Corridor which was created from a ghost photo. Players will take pictures to solve puzzles with the goal of advancing time in the corridor from 12:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But taking photographs requires film, and if you run out of film, you\u2019re returned to the Gallery Room at the beginning of the corridor with the time reset back to 12:00 p.m. It\u2019s impossible to reach your goal with just the film you\u2019re given when starting the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also gain new abilities by taking pictures of the objects and paintings within the corridor. For example, taking a picture of the \u201cFast Clock\u201d will advance time by 60 minutes and taking a picture of the ocean painting will increase the amount of film you have. Gathering these images, or building your deck so to speak, is how you will tackle the corridor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The corridor contains creepy monsters that will harm players, so treading carefully is essential. One enemy is the Doppelganger which will die if a photo is taken of it, requiring players to watch their step as they take pictures.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220519-203166-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12749\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220519-203166-002.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220519-203166-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220519-203166-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220519-203166-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220519-203166-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220519-203166-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220519-203166-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220519-203166-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220519-203166-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220519-203166-003.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220519-203166-003.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220519-203166-003-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220519-203166-003-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220519-203166-003-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220519-203166-003-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220519-203166-003-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220519-203166-003-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220519-203166-003-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220519-203166-003-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><figcaption>Screenshots from the free version of <em>Playable Mockup<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Developer 727 Not Hound has released a number of free horror games up to this point.
