About This Game

A psychological horror experience created by a team of 5 developers over the course of 4 months, featuring puzzles, immersion, and a unique hand-drawn art style.

In this game, you navigate a snowy cabin. Following a story between a Husband and Wife. Uncovering environmental clues and experiencing an unsettling atmosphere, and quickly realize something is very wrong. The game leverages tense sound design, dynamic lighting, and eerie visual distortions to create a sense of dread. The game is designed to make the player feel disturbed and unsettled.

To emphasize the surreal atmosphere, the radio messages are delivered through an intentionally robotic voice, this was a design choice to help emphasize the uncanny feeling the game can have at certain points.
