About the Game

What Awaits

You wake up in an abandoned land with no memory of how you got there. The only place that feels familiar is an old graveyard, where a sealed crypt sits waiting to be opened. You as the player need to search the surrounding castle grounds, abandoned buildings, and forgotten paths for the items left behind.

But you aren't alone.

The Apothecary watches over the land and guards the crypt. Every item you recover and every clue you discover brings you one step closer to learning what happened to this place.

Explore

Search the castle, graveyard, and surrounding grounds for the secrets that might open the door. Previously inhabited buildings and paths might contain what you are looking for.

Stay Alive

The Apothecary is constantly roaming the area. Watch where you go, listen for danger, and use the environment to stay one step ahead of the only other presence you know of.

Progress

Collect the items needed to unlock the crypt, but beware of the fog and don't get lost along your way.
