Days Under Custody is a single-player horror adventure built around uncovering the story behind a series of inexplicable events. Its dramatic narrative unfolds as you progress, with dialogue and collectible notes supplying details that reward close attention. Rather than framing the experience around multiplayer competition, the game centers on one player’s investigation and survival.
Its tense design combines exploration and puzzle-solving with an enemy that stalks you throughout the game. The puzzles are described as unique and random, making them a core part of the challenge, while the threat of pursuit gives the story’s discoveries a survival-horror edge. A soundtrack supports the atmosphere, and two different endings offer alternative conclusions to the tale.
Its appeal rests on interpreting events, reading notes, solving puzzles, and enduring the constant pursuit, with the possibility of reaching either of its two endings.
