À propos de la démo

Mayfly is a first-person story-rich psychological horror game where you must navigate your way through unstable and ever-shifting realities, finding clues and solving puzzles to piece together a deeply compelling mystery.

You awaken on a bright summer morning, unexpectedly alone. Your husband Robert is nowhere to be found. You wonder where he could be. Attempting to leave the bedroom you find the door mysteriously locked. There's no way out.

It slowly dawns on you that something is very, very wrong as you feel reality begin to fray.

• Constantly shifting realities: A ‘reality collapse’ mechanic punctuates the unfolding horror, transforming your environment as you progress, leaving you constantly guessing what will happen next.

• Story-rich: Mayfly features a densely packed, highly explorable narrowboat environment. With notes and collectable items, there's also an abundance of objects in the game which contain 'story interactions' plus a raft of hidden clues for players with a keen eye.

• Highly explorable and ever-changing: Search a richly detailed narrowboat setting which constantly changes. Items mysteriously vanish and re-appear, objects change positions and environment lighting shifts. The deeper you venture, the harder it becomes to trust what you see.

• Optional side-quests and collectables: For players who wish to 'go deep' there are several optional puzzles and tasks to complete.

• Challenging puzzles: A series of varied puzzles to solve as you weave your way through an ever-changing environment.

• Emotional text: Emotive text-based 'story interactions' reveal Caroline's inner state of mind, adding a subtle layer of psychological exploration and expression. 

• Context-specific story: Inspect the many available story interaction items to reveal additional lore - which changes and adapts along with Caroline's state of mind.

• Original soundtrack: Featuring a vast range of music, from delicate piano melodies to harsh otherwordly drones, Mayfly's soundtrack draws you in to the unfolding horror.

• Professional voice acting: Voice actor and award winning singer songwriter Tammy King plays the role of Caroline Miller bring a complex dimension to the story.

• 90s English vibes: Set in the late 1990s in the North-West of England, Mayfly is packed with northern charm and contains lots of subtle references to British popular culture. How many can you find?

• Lo-fi visuals: A gentle pixelated aesthetic reminiscent of the PSX era.

• Retro UI: A user interface which gently evokes feelings of gaming nostalgia, with an added layer of modern polish.
