About this game

What this game is, in the developer's words

A first-person horror game about returning to a familiar place that no longer feels safe. Explore a remote house, search for your missing grandparents, and uncover what was happening right in front of you all along.

You hadn’t heard from your grandparents in weeks.

What was meant to be a simple visit turns into something far more unsettling as you arrive at their remote home, surrounded by forest and silence. The house is empty — but it doesn’t feel abandoned.

Explore the environment, search for clues, and piece together what happened through careful observation and investigation. As you move from room to room, familiar spaces begin to feel increasingly wrong, revealing details that suggest someone — or something — was never truly gone.

This is a slow-burning psychological horror experience focused on atmosphere, discovery, and tension built over time.
