About This Game

WISHLIST AND FOLLOW!




Trapped in a crumbling mansion, you're being hunted by an ancient witch. With four other adults, it's up to you to outsmart her and survive with whatever items you can find. Set traps, solve puzzles, and discover hidden secrets the deeper you explore.



-Merging real world history with European folklore, experience a dreadful blend of cute and the horrific.

-A sequel to Cooking Companions that you can go into completely new: returning players get additional Chompettes, sidequests and story from the MC's perspective!

-Players can use the new inventory system to unlock new areas and solve puzzles throughout the mansion. Be careful! Vengeful spirits do not rest quietly: be quick on your feet and you’ll prevent being attacked by them.

-Death is not the end: there are no “Game Over” screens in Dread Weight, allowing you to keep going through the story uninterrupted. Face your fears: players will be REWARDED with more story content if they encounter ghosts.

-Players will be able to unlock 80 Steam achievements, 164 pieces of artwork, and 12 endings.
