House of Forgotten Souls is a handcrafted atmospheric puzzle adventure about memory and forgotten places. Explore a shifting mansion as Ovi, a mysterious black cat, helping its strange inhabitants recover lost memories.
Every environment, prop, and character in the game is built from real-world handmade miniatures, then carefully scanned and brought into the game. This gives the mansion a tangible, physical quality—like exploring a living diorama where every surface has been touched, built, and preserved.
Each room holds a fragment of the house’s past—forgotten celebrations, unfinished stories, and peculiar residents trapped in moments they can no longer understand. By solving puzzles, trading items, and restoring these memories, you unlock new paths and gradually reveal how the mansion connects.
The house is designed as an interconnected space that evolves as you play. Hidden passages open, shortcuts emerge, and distant areas link together, transforming the mansion from a maze of isolated rooms into a fully traversable environment. Progress is not about gaining power, but about gaining access—reducing the barriers between you and the world.
Gameplay centers on exploration and environmental problem-solving. You will:
Solve item-based and environmental puzzles
Complete character-driven quests through interaction and exchange
Discover secret routes through walls, rooftops, and underground tunnels
Backtrack through newly unlocked pathways to reach previously inaccessible areas
From a frog-man celebrating a forgotten birthday to a masked figure reading a shifting book, each character offers a piece of the larger mystery. As their memories return, so too does the structure of the house itself.
Deep within the mansion lies its hidden heart—and an evil waiting to be understood.
House of Forgotten Souls is a non-combat experience focused on atmosphere, discovery, and connection. As the world opens up, movement becomes smoother and more fluid, turning progression into a feeling of freedom.
