About the Game

Forbidden Terror is an episodic psychological horror game where each episode unravels a different horror tale.

Forbidden Terror: Board Game

In the first episode of Forbidden Terror, you take the role of Jonah, an 18 year old living with his parents. Jonah and his parents moved into a new house that they acquired for a very low price after a family was brutally murdered there and no one else was willing to live in it. Jonah and his best friend Emily, who is a huge fan of horror films, discover an Ouija Board at their local convenience store and bring it home for fun. They had no idea it was more than a simple board game.

Gameplay
