About This Demo

Hinterkaifeck: The Farmhouse Murder is a black-and-white, first-person psychological horror experience inspired by the chilling 1922 Hinterkaifeck murders. This is a fictionalized reimagining, designed as a “what-if” scenario rather than a documentary retelling.

You play as a young maid arriving at a remote German farmhouse on the very day everything goes wrong. The story focuses on tension, atmosphere, and the feeling that something is deeply off long before you can prove it. In this demo, you are placed in the center of the core story and the core choices that shaped the game as you search for your master and his family after noticing the barn lights.

The demo is a short, focused slice designed to introduce the tone, pacing, and themes of the full game. It is not the complete story.
