Restore the Ward Estate

As Frank, your goal is to complete a few basic staging tasks in the rooms around the house, such as tidying up, arranging items and cleaning surfaces. But as you work, you'll experience supernatural events that escalate with every task completed.

Uncover a Tragic Past

The Ward family vanished without a trace months ago, leaving their lives scattered behind locked doors. As you restore the home, you'll uncover hidden letters and environmental clues that piece together their final, terrifying moments.

Scrubbing Away the Past

Staging a vacant estate requires an eye for detail, but don't let the mundane chores distract you. While you work to erase the grime and filth left behind by the vanished family, something else is working to ensure you never leave.

Features

• Professional Home Staging: Clean, organize, and stage a vacant estate while experiencing supernatural events.

• Environmental Storytelling: The Ward family vanished months ago, leaving everything behind. Piece together their final moments through letters, discarded belongings, and the disturbing changes within the house.

• Relentless Psychological Tension: Staged balances slow-burn atmospheric dread with heart-pounding scares. Use sound design and subtle environmental shifts to stay on edge.

• Next-Gen Horror Visuals: Built in Unreal Engine 5, the Ward estate is rendered in haunting detail, capturing the uncanny valley of a "perfect" home turned sour.

Demo

This demo offers a short, 30 to 45 minute horror experience of what I'm currently building.

The full game will include:

• A much larger environment, expanding beyond the house into new locations tied to the Ward family's past.

• A persistent enemy that hunts you throughout the game.

• More complex puzzles and mechanics that reveal what really happened inside the Ward residence.

• Many more scares and psychological horror moments.

If you enjoyed the demo, please consider adding the full game to your Steam Wishlist. It's the best way to support a solo developer!
