About This Content

Grief is the first narrative DLC for Before the Haunting.

The story begins immediately after the tragic events that conclude the base game. Elya and Hannah must now face the consequences of what they have been through, while the shadow of the paranormal continues to loom over them.

WORDS MATTER

Grief introduces a new narrative gameplay mechanic built around the importance of words.

Throughout the story, certain words will appear in different colors. Pay attention to them, interpret their meaning, and understand what they reveal — they may influence how you approach the situations and choices ahead.

In Before the Haunting, every detail can matter. In Grief, the words themselves become clues.

YOUR DECISIONS ARE FINAL

In Grief, the death of a heroine is permanent and carries consequences throughout the story.. There is no going back to erase the consequences of a decision.

Your choices can permanently alter the fate of the characters and shape how the story continues. You will have to observe, decide… and then live with the consequences of your decisions.

Continue the story through new scenes, new locations, new choices, and a storyline directly shaped by the aftermath of the base game.

This DLC takes place immediately after the main story of Before the Haunting and therefore contains elements related to its ending. We strongly recommend completing the base game before starting Grief.

The Before the Haunting base game is required to play Grief.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Characters are initially designed and drawn manually by the creator. These drawings are then used as the foundation of a mixed production workflow combining manual artwork with generative AI tools.

AI is used as an assistive tool at different stages of the visual production process, including coloring, color grading, certain graphical corrections and enhancements, as well as the creation of some backgrounds.

The resulting material is then selected, corrected, and manually retouched to maintain the game's artistic consistency and remove potential artifacts. The final visuals therefore result from a workflow combining human creation, AI-assisted tools, and final human review.

The original soundtrack is entirely composed and produced by a musician, with no use of artificial intelligence at any stage.
