《The Main Menu》演示版提前开放：Steam 上新恐怖解谜游戏可玩

A demo for The Main Menu, a psychological horror puzzle adventure, has been announced for Steam and launches on October 20, according to a press release distributed by PressEngine. Players can play the demo that day.

The game chains players to a chair in front of a computer, and its corrupted main menu is their only way out. Changing the menu’s buttons and settings physically changes the room around them.

In-game interface mechanics in The Main Menu alter the surrounding environment.

Changing the menu’s buttons and settings physically changes the room around the player, so 2D interface actions affect a 3D space. Players manipulate the menu’s buttons and hidden systems to solve puzzles and uncover what controls the screen.

A mysterious Entity watches and interferes with their progress, adding new obstacles and raising questions about what’s really controlling the game. The press release says the design aims for the feeling of “wait… can I click that?” Anyone who has poked at a game’s settings screen out of curiosity will recognize the instinct.

What the Game Includes

The press release lists these features: a surreal horror game built around the main menu itself, puzzle mechanics where 2D interface actions affect a 3D room, and an escape-room mystery with an interfering entity.

Pressing buttons and changing settings isn’t just navigation in The Main Menu, it’s how players interact with the world. The press release says the menu holds hidden systems, and learning how they connect to the room is the key to escaping.

Meanwhile, the Entity watches over every attempt and adds new obstacles, so players can’t assume a solved puzzle stays solved.
