Set in the cinematic world of 1985, you play as Chris, a boy searching for his recently abducted friend Billy. Solve puzzles and stealthily infiltrate the mysterious mansion of Professor Kharzov to uncover layers of dark secrets.

This single-player unforgettable experience has you exploring in first person, completing dangerous quests, and solving escape room level puzzles all while avoiding capture in a thrilling blend of strategy and horror.

We are enthusiasts of video games, escape rooms, and mysteries. Inspired by games like Hello Neighbor, The Hunt, The Room, Lethal Company, Control and many others, we realized that there was an untapped potential in solving puzzles while under the duress of fear.

STORY

In the small town of MacCready, Oregon, a number of people have been going missing recently. Chris is worried that Billy is just the next in a line of victims.

As darkness approaches, Chris comes upon the gates of the “crazy old Professor’s” mansion in the forest at the edge of town. Along the fence, Chris finds Billy’s bike, discarded...

The mythology of the game centers around Dr. Henri Kharzov. There is an assortment of characters that revolve around his world. There is an assortment of unanswered questions:

Where is Billy?

How do I get in the mansion?

Who/what is the groundskeeper?

What is happening in the tower?

What is the professor up to?

What do the video messages mean?

Why are there runes everywhere?

So many secrets. And this is just the beginning…

PUZZLE

The game has both narrative mysteries and puzzles. Some puzzles are contextual, while others are standalone or artifact-based. You will have to use most of your senses. Chris’s thoughts act as a guide, but you may find yourself led forward by a mysterious entity -- one goading you to complete objectives.

Everything is connected for a reason. It’s up to you to solve it.

HORROR

A unique blend of fog-filled atmospheric environments, unique monsters, and visceral, suspense-filled gameplay. Players will juggle between cerebral puzzles while watching their backs.

Each enemy throughout the game will present a different behavior that the player will have to adapt to. Some see you, some hear you, some feel you.

With its immersive single-player experience and gripping horror atmosphere, The Kharzov Effect promises a thrilling adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
