About This Game

Inspired by the chilling real-life Hinterkaifeck murders of 1922, it places you in the shoes of a young maid arriving at a remote German farmhouse on the very day the family vanished.

You just got employed to work as a maid in a rich family's house. You got there and were introduced and shown around the house, so excited, finally got a job, didn't know what the next few hours would mean, only to sleep, woke up to the hit to her head, and never woke up again. Play the chance she never had, investigators, help us get closer to the unsolved case, and help us get closure to this case. THE  INVESTIGATION DOESN'T HAPPEN DURING THE GAMEPLAY, BUT AFTER THE GAME. 

Nightfall is not just any horror game. It's a call-up game designed around the story of this case, which was never solved, and I decided to bring it back to the smarter we now, advanced tech. Maybe we might get closer to a better conclusion because it remains confusing to me.
