What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“

Why Early Access?


Tales of Ancients aims to deliver a unique, atmospheric exploration and storytelling experience. Early Access provides the perfect opportunity to involve our community in the development process and gather valuable feedback from players at an early stage.

This approach allows us to refine the game’s mechanics, narrative, and atmosphere based on real player input, ensuring that every aspect of Tales of Ancients meets and exceeds expectations. The insights and suggestions from our community will play an integral role in shaping the game.

Early Access offers a chance to create a continuously evolving experience that responds to player needs and builds a stronger connection between the game and its audience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It’s difficult to provide an exact timeframe, as community feedback and suggestions will play a crucial role in the game’s development. Early Access will continue until the game is refined and offers a complete, satisfying experience.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version aims to offer a more comprehensive experience based on community feedback. We plan to include new content, refined mechanics, and a more polished gameplay experience. Additionally, the story will be expanded, providing players with a more satisfying conclusion.

The full version is intended to deliver a balanced and atmospheric final experience. However, these plans may evolve and adapt depending on player feedback during Early Access.”

About This Game

Game Description

Before the town… Before the cult… There was the silence of the apartment.

Trapped inside a decaying building with no way out, Alex must uncover what lies behind the sealed doors, flickering lights, and symbols etched into the walls.

Tales of Ancients: Hollow Apartment – Prologue is a standalone introduction to the atmospheric horror story of Alex — a documentary photographer who is just beginning to understand how deep the mystery goes.

Story

Alex was ready to leave. His bag was packed.
But when he opened the door…
…everything was gone.

The hallway was there — and yet not. Shadows where people once lived. Sounds where silence should be.

There is no exit. No contact. No help.

Only floors to descend… and something waiting at the bottom.

What happened here?
Why is he the only one left?
And why does the basement call to him?

Gameplay

🔍 Exploration and Puzzle Solving

Search abandoned apartments, decode mysterious notes, and solve ancient symbol puzzles to progress deeper into the building’s secrets.

🌫️ Atmospheric Horror

Tense silence, distant echoes, and subtle shifts in reality. The deeper you go, the more uncertain your surroundings become.

📖 Narrative-Driven Experience

This is not just a demo. It is the first step in a larger journey — introducing you to the world, history, and horrors that await in the full game.

Features

  • Standalone Prologue Chapter (3–4 hours of gameplay)

  • First-person psychological horror in a single, haunting location

  • Symbol-based puzzles and hidden story fragments

  • No weapons. No fighting. Just your eyes, ears, and instincts

  • Ties directly into the upcoming full release of Tales of Ancients

Do You Dare Begin the Descent?

Every locked door has a story.
Every floor takes you further from the truth.
And the basement... was never meant to be opened.
