About the Game


Episode is a psychological horror narrative game set in the eerie town of Nachtheim, Germany, during the late 1970s. When Jonas is forced to stop in the quiet village after a storm derails his journey, he unknowingly steps into a place where reality fractures and hidden truths rise to the surface.

As Jonas, players will explore the haunting environment, uncover unsettling mysteries, and engage with characters who may not be what they seem. The story unfolds through atmospheric exploration, interactive dialogue, and environmental puzzles that gradually pull you deeper into the town’s secret past. With every discovery, he realizes his connection to Nachtheim runs far deeper than he ever imagined.

Will he unravel the town’s hidden past before it consumes him?

Built for a focused 2–3 hour experience, Episode is not about jump scares or combat—it’s about tension, mood, and the creeping uncertainty of what’s real and what isn’t.
