About This Game

How many times have you used resurrection in an RPG?

A party member falls in combat.

You open the menu and use a spell, an item, or an ability.

And then the character returns as if nothing had happened, and the mission continues.

But… what if something had happened?

In What the Healer Left Behind, you take on the role of a swordsman sent on a common guild mission. Just retrieve an item, return to the village, and maybe give a report.

The mission fails.

Not everyone returns.

And someone is brought back.

The village is still there. The houses are still standing. The streets look the same.

But something doesn't fit.

The silence lingers. The healer's presence becomes unsettling. Fragments of information emerge where they shouldn't.

As the night progresses, the world begins to behave strangely, and little by little, it becomes clear that the resurrection was not a neutral act, it was a choice.

Everything points to a single isolated place, far from the village.

A place where something was left behind.

And that shouldn't have been brought back.

What the Healer Left Behind is a first-person psychological horror experience about faith, trust, and the unseen consequences of accepting miracles without question. A short game, focused on atmosphere, environmental narrative, and growing unease where the horror doesn't come from death, but from what insists on remaining alive.
