The Night Cage is a fully cooperative horror puzzle in which players awaken in total darkness with only a faint candle to guide them. Each turn reveals a small piece of the labyrinth while the spaces behind you vanish into shadow, forcing the group to move cautiously through an ever changing maze. The goal is simple but demanding: find keys, locate the exit gate, and escape together before the candlelight fades. Wax Eaters lurk in the darkness, threatening the safety of anyone who strays too far or runs out of light, adding ongoing pressure and dramatic decision points. As the maze reshuffles with every movement, players must coordinate carefully, negotiate risks, and rely on each other to survive. The game features intuitive rules that make it accessible to new players and an Advanced Game mode that introduces new monsters, obstacles, and heightened danger. With its award winning design, intense atmosphere, and strong emotional beats, The Night Cage delivers a gripping cooperative experience that blends strategic planning with cinematic horror, creating suspenseful and memorable sessions for teams that thrive on dramatic gameplay.
