About This Game

Step into the shoes of a disgruntled paranormal investigator and journey to a town that feels lost to time. Uncover a criminal conspiracy, solve a murder, all while exploring an open world and a massive sprawling castle shrouded in darkness. Featuring characters and themes inspired by Lovecraftian horror.

Haunting of Mageburrow is an RPG that combines that feeling of retro cozy gameplay, with horror and the surreal. Set in the small English town of Mageburrow, you will play as a Paranormal Investigator (male or female, your choice) who has been struggling with their job. Never enough proof to actually prove anything, but at least you are putting your clients minds at ease. All is somewhat well, until you begin having mysterious dreams. Followed by a phone call from a Professor, with a new job for you. Investigating the sprawling Mageburrow Castle.

What follows next is a series of mysterious events. A car accident. A murder. A shady real estate deal. Everything is connected. But to what? The occult. What is real, and what is pure fiction? You'll dive head first into the cult, a gothic castle, and a cozy English town to explore. Slowly you'll start to unravel the conspiracy as you meet the citizens of Mageburrow. From this crazy cast of characters, everyone has a secret to hide. Oh and there's monsters to battle. Don't forget the monsters.

The town of Mageburrow can be explored as you wish. You'll meet the townsfolk, purchase gear, and even find keys that unlock doors in the castle. Each building has many rooms to explore. You'll also get a room for yourself to call your own at the Inn. The town will change depending on if it's day or night.

Mageburrow Castle is a sprawling estate to explore, with many rooms and creepy haunts to discover. Locked doors, puzzles, and cultists will be around every corner. Flickering lighting effects add to the mood and mystery of what actually lurks in each room. And soon you'll discover that monsters lurk behind those walls...

You'll find yourself changing from a Paranormal Investigator, to someone who battles actual monsters of the occult. What is real and what is not? You'll need to find out. Your life and sanity depends on it.

You'll also find yourself gaining special abilities as you advance further in the story. Invocation (INV) will be a special skill that can aid you in battle. What will you learn? How powerful will you become?
