Before The Haunting is a psychological horror interactive fiction focused on investigation, atmosphere, and player choice.
Set in a realistic and oppressive environment, you play a character confronted by a disturbing presence. Every decision influences the course of the story, the events you encounter, and your perception of reality.
The game favors psychological tension over raw action, relying on silence, sound design, visual clues, and fragmented narration to build an immersive experience where doubt is constant.
Main features:
• Psychological horror with a heavy, unsettling atmosphere
• Interactive fiction with multiple choices
• Narrative investigation and exploration
• Single-player experience focused on story
• No artificial assistance: observe, listen, decide
Before The Haunting is designed for players seeking a mature, immersive, and disturbing narrative experience, where horror slowly reveals itself.
