The Survey
About The Survey: Review, Story & Gameplay
The Survey is a short first-person psychological horror game built around an ordinary computer questionnaire. After a long day, you sit down in a quiet room and begin answering simple questions. The tone gradually changes: the prompts become invasive, the surrounding space feels less secure, and details that seemed harmless begin to suggest that you may not be alone.
More Than a Questionnaire
Read every prompt before choosing an answer, but do not focus only on the monitor. The room is part of the experience, and changes in lighting, sound, or object placement can signal that something has happened behind you. The Survey creates tension through anticipation and direct address rather than complicated combat or inventory systems.
Why It Works
- A focused psychological-horror scenario that starts with a familiar task.
- Questions that become increasingly uncomfortable and personal.
- Environmental changes that reward looking away from the screen.
- Simple interaction controls and a compact play time.
- A steady escalation designed for headphones and a dark room.
Take your time, answer honestly or cautiously, and keep checking your surroundings whenever the atmosphere shifts.
