About the Game

It's 1995.

Twenty years after its closure, Franklin’s Amazing World stands as nothing more than a decaying ruin — a place the locals prefer not to talk about.

But it wasn’t always like this.

The park was built by English billionaire Gerald Kingsley, who promised to bring life back to the quiet town of Ashwood Falls and attract visitors from far and wide.

At the heart of the park was Franklin Edwards — a gifted performer who entertained crowds as the park’s beloved medieval clown.

And the gamble paid off.

Franklin quickly became the star attraction. People traveled from far away just to see him perform.

For a while, it seemed Kingsley’s dream had come true.

Ashwood Falls was alive again.

But what if someone never really left?

Rely on your instincts and sound judgment. With only a flashlight to guide you, explore the dark corners of the abandoned park, solve puzzles and search for a way out — your only chance to survive.

As you push deeper into the ruins, you must watch not only your physical state, but your mental state as well.
