About This Game

Some gifts are meant to be buried.

Arlo Part I: The Past, is a first-person supernatural psychological horror game that plunges you into one terrifying night inside the mind and home of Arlo — a young woman with a gift she never asked for.

The Story

Arlo has spent years running from her ability to communicate with the dead. But when the supernatural begins bleeding into her waking life — dreams, shadows, voices — she can no longer ignore what she left behind. The past has come knocking.

Gameplay

No hand-holding — objectives are never displayed. A detective mindset is required.

Proximity-based interactions — everything in Arlo's world must be discovered up close. Walk up, press E, and uncover the truth.

Environmental storytelling — interact with photographs, objects, and characters scattered throughout to piece together Arlo's hidden past.

Two handcrafted puzzles — one to ease you in, and one to test you.

Drive through the street — explore beyond the walls of Arlo's home.

Earn your way — unlock special interactions by completing unique challenges hidden within the world.

Best experienced with a headset.

The Threat

Bifrons. A fallen angel turned demon. Ancient. Patient. Collecting souls — including someone Arlo loves. To save her grandmother from eternal torment, Arlo must confront the darkness she buried long ago.

This is only the beginning.
