About This Game

Seeking peace in the Highland wilderness, a man’s isolation unravels into guilt and madness when a folkloric predator begins to stalk him, blurring the line between memory, myth, and consequence. A retro first-person psychological survival horror experience rooted in Gaelic folklore.

SURVIVE THE NIGHT

What begins as a quiet, solitary single-player first-person experience of foraging for mushrooms and gathering wood to keep the fire alive slowly transforms into a desperate fight for survival as each hour passes and the darkness closes in.

A TRIP THAT TURNS AGAINST YOU

To escape the pain of a broken relationship, you consume foraged psychoactive mushrooms that heighten perception and distort reality. But is the presence stalking the woods real or just a bad trip?

AUTHENTIC GAELIC VOICES AND CULTURE

Featuring Scottish Gaelic voice acting and folklore woven directly into the narrative, grounding the horror in a living cultural tradition rarely explored in games. Play with English or Gaelic subtitles.

RETRO INSPIRED VISUALS

Nostalgia blends with the uncanny with visuals inspired by the PS1 and PS2 era of retro horror. Low-poly environments and lighting create a dreamlike, unsettling atmosphere.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Highland Trip contains depictions of psychological horror, including sustained tension, threat, and fear. As part of the narrative, the player character forages for and consumes psychoactive mushrooms. The effects of these mushrooms are represented through stylised, non-realistic visual and audio distortions intended to convey altered perception rather than realistic drug use.

The game explores the negative psychological consequences of consuming psychoactive substances within its story and does not promote or glorify drug use. There are no depictions of sexual acts, sexual violence, self-harm, or graphic physical violence. Though mentions of sexual acts and suicide are present in dialogue.

All mature themes are presented within an atmospheric horror context.
