About the Game

Bound by Bones is a single-player supernatural horror experience where your only way out… is through fire. Spirits bound to this world by their cursed remains haunt the living—and the only way to banish them is to find their bones and burn them.

You are a spiritual investigator tasked with performing the Bone Ritual—an ancient practice to end hauntings by burning the physical remains of vengeful ghosts. Each level drops you into a terrifying location where a spirit has anchored itself to the mortal plane.

To complete the ritual, you’ll need to:

  • Search for the bones scattered across the area.

  • Find salt, gasoline, and matches—tools needed to purify and destroy.

  • Piece together clues, survive the haunting, and burn the remains to end the curse.

🏚️ Five Levels. Fifty Variants.

Bound by Bones features five unique haunted environments, each one with its own layout, challenges, and supernatural ambiance. From claustrophobic interiors to wide, eerie grounds, every level is designed to keep you on edge.

But it doesn’t stop there. Each level includes 10 different randomized instances. Objects, key items, and even the ghost’s behavior can change, giving you a fresh experience every time. You’ll never know exactly where to look—or what’s waiting for you.

This game contains horror elements, frightening scenes, depictions of human remains, and sudden scares that may not be suitable for all players.
