About the Game

EPITAPH: The Parchment Anthology is a dark text-based horror experience set in a world of coffins, underground passages, forgotten rituals, and unseen entities.

You awaken buried alive, with no memory and no clear way out. Explore claustrophobic environments, examine your surroundings, collect items, and interpret cryptic clues to survive what lurks in the darkness.

Every decision matters. Some choices will lead you closer to the truth, while others may trigger unexpected events or lead to a brutal death. The world reacts to your actions, your inventory, and the paths you choose.

Key Features:

  • Atmospheric text-based horror experience

  • Meaningful choices with multiple paths

  • Multiple endings

  • Inventory system and item-based interactions

  • Hidden events and unpredictable encounters

  • Exploration of dark, oppressive environments

Descend into a disturbing world shaped by rituals, symbols, and things that should not exist. Not everything can be trusted, and not every path leads forward.

There is a way out.
But not everyone escapes.
