About This Game

Separated by Nightmares: Where Duty Dies offers a horror experience that blends first-person puzzle-solving with a deeply woven narrative. Written by the fantasy author behind The Swords of Unforgotten Memories and Worlds Beneath the Shadows, this first chapter introduces you to a workaholic lieutenant who is obsessed with closing every case, driven by a relentless need for answers. His single-minded pursuit cost him his family, yet unknown to most, an even deeper grief haunts him.

When an unexpected blackout engulfs the police station, what begins as a simple power check quickly twists into a haunting quest. Ominous notes from the past start to surface, forcing the lieutenant to confront memories he had desperately tried to bury.

As you guide him through the station’s darkened corridors, you’ll uncover the true source of his torment.
