About the Game

NOTE: This game has only been tested for Meta Quest VR Headsets. Additional headsets may support this game but are untested.

25 years ago your father climbed the mountain and never came back.

Now he’s calling for you with updated graphics, smoother interactions, and quality of life upgrades in the Director’s Cut.

A winner of 6 awards and 11 other nominations and selections, Broken Spectre is an eldritch horror narrative game developed in collaboration with one of the makers of The Blair Witch Project.

Casey’s dark journey begins when she receives a cryptic message from her father, which leads her back to the abandoned trails of Coldblood Mountain, a remote wilderness that has haunted her family for generations.

Stalking her is a terrible power, watching Casey’s every move, and forcing her to make horrific decisions in the hopes of finding her lost father. Can you help her solve the clues he left littered behind on the mountain’s cold, uncaring slopes? Or will something else find her first?

Unique Eldritch Horror Narrative

Produced by one of the creators of The Blair Witch Project – a landmark of the found-footage horror genre - Broken Spectre is an original eldritch horror experience inspired by the works of John Carpenter and H.P. Lovecraft.
