About The Survey
The Survey is a short first-person horror game by NISHAD. After work, the protagonist sits down at a computer and begins a questionnaire. Its yes-or-no questions move between ordinary, humorous, and unsettling subjects, while the room around the computer becomes part of the experience.
The main activity is reading, answering, and responding when the game asks for an interaction with the surroundings. That makes the wording of a prompt useful information: a question may direct your attention away from the screen, and continuing the questionnaire can depend on noticing what it has asked you to do.
How to Play The Survey
Getting Started
- Start the questionnaire and read the whole question before selecting an answer.
- Use the mouse for the game's interactions. When a prompt asks you to attend to something in the room, follow that instruction before trying to advance again.
- Notice the response to your action, then return your attention to the computer when the survey continues.

Practical tips
- Distinguish a question from an instruction. If progression seems to stop, reread the latest prompt for an action you have not completed.
- Give a new sound or scene change a moment before clicking again. Rapid answers can make it harder to connect a question with what happens afterward.
