8 itemsAbout the Game
FATHER is a first-person psychological horror game about a family who isolated themselves from the sinful outside world in pursuit of salvation.
You play as Caleb — the father, who enforces strict rules, raises his children in discipline, and maintains the household according to God's commandments.
But beneath this perfect facade, tension is slowly growing. As silence and unease settle over the house, an inner struggle begins — and it cannot be stopped.
Explore the dark corners of the home, perform daily tasks, and try to hold onto your sanity as reality itself starts to twist and break.
Isolation and Routine
Live by strict rules. Care for the house, keep order, and oversee the behavior of your family.
Psychological Horror
Watch as familiar things become unsettling. Fear doesn't hide in monsters — it lingers in silence and glances.
Interactive Environment
Open doors, search rooms, find items and fragments of the story to piece together what truly happened.
Symbolism and Hidden Meanings
The game offers no direct answers. Only careful observation and curiosity will reveal the dark truth concealed within these walls.
FATHER is a story about faith, fear, and human frailty.
Will you manage to keep everything under control when the line between duty and madness begins to blur?
