About the Game

"Dogma" is a first-person Chinese horror game blending rule-based anomalies with Yin-Yang realms. As the sole survivor of a cursed household, you return to the isolated ancestral mansion, following cryptic family precepts to reconstruct memories through four relatives' perspectives, revealing truths buried between dreams and reality.

Amidst millennial chaos, a family of four descends into madness. Twenty years later, as the escaped younger brother, you receive your mother's letter summoning you back to the derelict home. Navigating spaces where supernatural phenomena intertwine with fragmented memories, you must uncover mold-covered secrets through stealth, artifact collection, and paranormal chases.

Gameplay requires obeying paradoxical family rules while traversing dual realms, solving environmental puzzles, and confronting haunting truths about sacrificial rituals that shattered your bloodline at the turn of the century.
