About the Game

Father's Heritage is a first-person psychological horror game about returning to the house of a missing father and uncovering the disturbing traces he left behind.

You came back looking for answers. The house is silent, but it does not feel empty. Notes, locked rooms, strange symbols, distorted memories, and something moving in the dark slowly reveal a story of obsession, fear, and family trauma.

This is not a game about fighting monsters. It is about surviving the atmosphere, listening carefully, exploring dangerous spaces, and understanding what really happened inside the house.

Features:

• First-person psychological horror experience

• Dark, oppressive atmosphere inspired by family secrets and personal trauma

• Exploration of a mysterious house and maze-like locations

• Notes and environmental storytelling

• Flashlight-based exploration

• Encounters with disturbing entities

• Safe-room moments where the player can escape immediate danger

• Tension built through silence, sound, and the feeling of being watched

The deeper you go, the more the house begins to feel less like a place — and more like a mind that has gone rotten.
