About This Game

© THE LEGEND RETURNS 2025

Tonight marks the anniversary. The day he returns. The news calls it a myth—a story to scare people into locking their doors. But you don’t believe in urban legends… until you see him.

What starts as a normal night out quickly turns into a nightmare. A vagabond warns you: no one walks these streets anymore. A stranger whispers, be careful. Then, from the shadows, he watches.

When you return home, strange things begin to happen. Footsteps in the dark. A figure outside your window. You’re being hunted, and no one believes you.

No one… except one Strange Person. Together, you search for answers, but the deeper you dig, the worse it gets. An ancient ritual is the only way to stop him. A single weapon—the only thing that can end him for good.

Do you runhide, or fight? No one escapes the legend.

  • 🩸 Gore-heavy cinematics with brutal encounters. There’s no easy escape. Every encounter is a fight for survival, with gruesome deaths and intense sequences.

  • 👀 A relentless killer who always finds you. No matter where you hide or how fast you run, he is always near, lurking in the shadows.
