About This Demo

Demo Description:

This Demo includes the complete first chapter of Buried Apparition, with a playtime of about 15-20 minutes. You will play as Song Qian, a horror Vlogger, arriving late at night at an old, remote mountain inn. Experience the entire journey from checking in to the terrifying encounters late at night.

Story

You're a horror vlogger investigating a supernatural legend from an ancient village deep in the mountains. When your GPS fails and you lose your way, you stumble upon an old-fashioned guesthouse. With nowhere else to go, you decide to stay the night.

As night falls, one eerie incident follows another. Malevolent spirits seem to be haunting you—but instead of running, you're thrilled. This is exactly the kind of footage that could make your channel take off.

Then, while reviewing your recordings, you notice things the naked eye never saw. You begin to realize that this guesthouse is far more dangerous than you imagined.

And hidden deep within these mountains is a terrifying conspiracy that threatens to consume you...

Game Features

📖 Immersive Mystery Storytelling

This game places a strong emphasis on storytelling, with extensive character dialogue and cinematic scenes. As you explore the eerie guesthouse, solve puzzles, and confront terrifying events, you'll uncover complicated relationships and piece together the truth through conversations and environmental clues.

The unknown isn't the only thing to fear. Human intentions can be just as treacherous.

🎥 Vlog Filming Simulation

Pick up your camera and complete filming challenges involving camera movement, quick shots, and composition. Pan, tilt, push in, and pull back to find the perfect angle and capture unsettling moments around the guesthouse. What you film and observe isn't just material for your paranormal videos—it may also influence the story and reveal hidden clues.

📼 Spot Anomalies in Your Footage

A scene that seemed perfectly ordinary while filming may reveal something chilling on playback—something standing in the corner that shouldn't be there. Examine your recordings, spot overlooked details, and uncover clues hidden in the footage as you work toward the truth.

🏮 Chinese Folk Horror

Drawing on Chinese folklore and supernatural legends, the game combines unsettling environments, sound, subtle details, and sudden scares to create an immersive first-person horror experience. As your investigation deepens, a faint sense of unease gradually grows into inescapable terror.

🖼️ Realistic Visuals

Carefully crafted environments and lighting bring every corner of the remote mountain guesthouse to life. Dim corridors, yellowed walls, and creaking floorboards immerse you in its atmosphere from the moment you step inside.

🌿 Branching Paths and Multiple Endings

Your choices in dialogue, actions, and investigations shape how the story unfolds. Face greed, human nature, and questions of life and death as you navigate conflicting lies and truths, unlocking dramatically different endings. The more you learn, the closer you may come to danger.

🔍 Exploration and Puzzles

Explore the guesthouse and the hidden areas around it. Collect notes, ancient objects, and other clues; solve mechanisms and puzzles; and gradually piece together the secrets buried in these mountains. Some answers aren't found in dialogue, but in environmental details and the footage you've captured.

👥 Characters with Conflicting Motives

Meet characters with different motives and allegiances. Through conversation, observation, and investigation, uncover contradictions in their stories. Your choices may affect what you learn and how events unfold. Who is lying? Who is helping you? And who is using you?
