😱 Cursed Library Panic

Cursed Library Panic drops you into a dim, walled cursed library where flat, grinning faces — the nextbots — drift in from the edges and lock onto you the moment they appear. It is a top-down cat-and-mouse chase: you are faster than any single bot, but they never stop coming, and they get quicker with every wave. Your goal is to stay alive for as long as you possibly can while the horde grows. Use the maze of walls for cover, cut tight corners to break a bot's line, and never let yourself get pinned between two of them. The faces are all original goofy designs — big eyes and a wide grin — so it is creepy in a cartoonish, share-it-with-friends way rather than genuinely gruesome. Every run is scored and your best is saved, so there is always a number to beat. A jump-scare flash is included but switched OFF by default, and there is a mute toggle and reduced-motion support, keeping it family-safe. It plays instantly in your browser on phone or desktop — drag anywhere to move on touch, or use WASD and the arrow keys on a keyboard. No download, no sign-up. Can you survive Cursed Library Panic?
