About This Game

The flames of the Ghost Festival have yet to fade when Blackwater Town is suddenly plunged into a living nightmare overrun by corpse demons.

In a single night, familiar streets are consumed by fear. Survivors struggle for a fleeting chance of survival amid chaos and despair. You will step into this disaster as the protagonist, making choices under relentless pressure — who to trust, who to save, and what to protect when everything begins to fall apart. Every decision will reshape the course of events and gradually reveal the ancient secrets hidden deep within the town.

Blackwater Town is an interactive narrative game inspired by ancient Chinese folklore and traditional customs. Blending Eastern horror atmosphere, a world shaped by corpse demon calamity, and a branching choice-driven story, the game unfolds through fully animated cinematic sequences. With no complex controls required, you can immerse yourself in a supernatural disaster tale where every choice can change the outcome — witnessing the fall of a town and the struggles, sacrifices, and faint sparks of humanity that remain in the darkest moments.

The playable Demo is now available, featuring the complete first two chapters. Experience the outbreak of the Blackwater Town disaster firsthand and witness the beginning of the desperate struggle for survival after the town’s downfall.

Features

Chinese Folklore Roots · Immersive Eastern Horror

Built upon ancient Chinese folk legends, rural traditions, and forgotten taboos, the game combines Ghost Festival rituals, mountain mysteries, and an unknown catastrophe to create a uniquely Eastern horror atmosphere.

What caused the disaster?
The truth lies hidden beneath the layers of mist surrounding Blackwater Town.

Every Choice Rewrites Fate

When disaster strikes, every decision becomes a struggle between danger, loyalty, and the unknown.

A single choice can trigger a chain of consequences, changing future events, relationships, and character outcomes. Every path offers a story experience uniquely shaped by your decisions.

Multiple Branches · Uncover the Full Truth

As the story unfolds, you will enter entirely different narrative paths and gradually uncover the core truth behind the corpse demon calamity.

Each route reveals different characters’ pasts, regrets, and hidden motives, while exposing different fragments of the mystery behind the disaster. Only through repeated choices can you piece together the complete truth of Blackwater Town.

Stand Together with Your Companions · Survive the Impossible

After the disaster begins, you will search for a way to survive alongside companions with completely different personalities.

Some will stand firm by their principles.
Some will choose self-preservation.
Some will make unexpected choices when pushed to the edge.

Your decisions will determine the stories you share with them.

Fully Animated Narrative · Immersive with No Barriers

The entire story is presented through dynamic animated sequences, with simple and intuitive gameplay that allows you to focus entirely on the characters, the story, and every critical choice.

At every crossroads, you must make your own judgment and experience a long night of disaster, survival, and human nature.
