About This Game

Your best friend Eli is convinced his family is being haunted. At first you don't believe him. But then he shows you the photos.

Eli's parents dismiss it as an overactive imagination. He needs clearer evidence. As a budding photo editor, that's where you come in.

The Walls Have Eyes... and Faces

Use the latest SpectralAware™ 2.1 software to analyze Eli's family photos and home videos. Adjust the exposure, contrast and noise, and apply different filters to reveal the horrors hiding in plain sight.

Choices Have Consequences

With the help of a detailed manual, sort your findings into different categories - Apparitions, Simulacra, Strange Lights, Demonic Entities, and more.

It's vital you get it right, as mistakes carry consequences - the fate of Eli and his family rests on your answers.

Hereditary Horror

Piece together the family's history - and, if you're observant - the true reason behind the hauntings, inherited and handed down from generation to generation.

Between photo investigations, explore the house in tense first-person sections where the consequences of your actions bleed into the present-day.

A Slow-Burn Horror Experience

Inspired by Her Story, Mouthwashing, Home Safety Hotline, and Kiyoshi Kurosawa's masterpiece horror film Pulse (2001), this is true psychological horror that lingers long after you've logged off. You may feel you're being watched in your own home. Are you up for it?

Features:

  • An in-game computer with SpectralAware™ 2.1 - a photo and video analysis tool for detecting the paranormal.

  • 80+ haunting photos and video clips that dig through a hidden, multi-generational narrative.

  • First-person sections in the house where the present-day horror turns to immediate terror around you.

  • Sharp, gripping and cathartic storytelling from Frostwood Interactive (Rainswept, Unwording)

  • An early-2000s style OS with Frutiger Aero aesthetics.
