The Watcher
A horror game drawn with shaders
An eye follows your pointer across the screen. Poke it and it startles; stay still while it is awake and its pupil shrinks to a point: it saw you. Drawn by a shaderWhat is a shader?A small program that runs on the GPU and decides the color of a single pixel. The GPU runs it for every pixel at once. with FBMWhat is FBM?Fractal Brownian Motion: several layers of noise stacked, each one finer and weaker than the last. Adding them creates natural detail, from big mountains down to the finest texture..
What you can do
- 01
Be watched
The gaze follows your pointer in real time.
- 02
Startle it
A poke dilates the pupil, shakes the eye and makes it blink.
- 03
Hold still

It runs the same shader on thousands of cores at once, one per fragment, which is why it paints millions of pixels sixty times a second without breaking a sweat..
