Om detta spel

Echoing themes from Hereditary, The Ritual, and Layers of Fear, In The Foundations is a horror visual novel that centers around family, loss, generational debt, and duty.

You didn't want to go home ever again.

You're Taylor. Your dad died suddenly a few weeks ago. It looks like he left you the family house.

Really though, you swore you'd never come back here. Nothing specific bad ever happened, but the place makes you feel sick to your stomach. Like you're some how allergic.

You know it's up to you to at least clean the place out. Your dad and stepmom had been divorced for years, and you've never been close with your half sister, Paige.

Fortunately, you get to do this alone, at your own pace.

But are you really the only one in the house?

As you start the process though, that same feeling from your childhood is still there. But there's more... a presence, maybe? It shifts from terrifying to comforting. And it all seems to circle around the basement that your dad never let you enter.

You need to find out what's down there. You need to understand what is in the house with you. And you need to open this lockbox that your dad left behind.
