Project: Sicariidae

COMING OUT 6/19/2026

Will you survive the descent?

Project: Sicariidae is a relentless, procedurally generated first-person survival horror experience. Trapped in an ever-shifting nightmare, your only objective is to navigate the dark, collect seven elusive dice, and summon the portal to the next floor.

But the dark is crawling with things that are hunting you.

Survive 15 progressively grueling levels that violently shift between claustrophobic, pitch-black mazes and vertigo-inducing, vertical platforming towers. Manage your sanity, ration your light, and whatever you do—don't let them catch you off guard.

Features:

• Procedural Nightmares: No two runs are the same. The grid-based generator constantly shifts the environment, meaning you can never memorize the map.
• The Huntsman: A massive, relentless predator bound by your vision. Look directly at it, and it slows to a creeping crawl—but rapidly drains your sanity. Turn your back, and it sprints at you with glowing eyes.
• Dynamic, Evolving AI: Spiders don't just follow paths; they hunt. Enemies spawn with distinct personalities—Attackers will aggressively investigate your glowsticks, Tricksters will stalk and flank you, and Jumpers will wait in the shadows to ambush.

• Weaponized Paranoia: The environment is actively hostile. Haunted decor stalks you across the floor, and "fake-out" scares are designed to keep you second-guessing. If a haunted object catches you, it deals damage and instantly summons a spider to your location.
• Brutal Resource Management: You have a limited supply of two-minute glowsticks and spider repellent. Use them wisely. Panic-spamming your repellent until you are nearly out will only enrage the swarm, drastically increasing their speed and aggression.
• A Suffocating Soundscape: The tension is palpable. The music remains dead silent until you collect your first die, steadily ramping up into a crescendo of anxiety with every item you find.
• FULL CONTROLLER SUPPORT

About Purple Pax Studios

Welcome to Purple Pax Studios! Project: Sicariidae is our debut title.

I am a 39-year-old dev student who, until very recently, had never touched a single line of code in his life. While dealing with health issues, I started taking classes online and quickly realized just how much I completely loved the process of bringing games to life. This project is the culmination of everything I've learned so far, and I am doing whatever I can to make Purple Pax Studios get me through school and into better Health by turning this newfound passion into a career.

It has been a wild journey putting this together, and I am incredibly excited to share it with the survival horror community.

Thank you so much for playing, and please leave a comment or feedback below—I'd love to hear how your run goes!
