The Dark Stares Back
Short description
The Dark Stares Back pins you against multiple invaders with no purpose but to hunt you. Each of them behaves in their own unique way and you must learn from your experience to evade them long enough to win. You can run into the vents, hide in cabinets, duck behind furniture and more to survive.

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range disagree, so the band is widened to cover both rather than picking a favourite. Multiplied by the $0.99 launch price — there is not enough price history for this game to weight the copies by what they actually sold for. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.
