About the Game

IN THIS DARK AND EMOTIONAL GAME

The plot begins after a depressed player, left by his wife and taking the children with her, finds something intriguing that leads him on a journey of exploring the game. The story takes place during the 90s and uses recognizable retro VHS effects and sounds to create an atmosphere of nostalgia and tension. While exploring the unknown, the player finds various textual documents that reveal many things and dark secrets about the rituals and the secret society.

DISCOVERING THE TERRIFYING EVENTS AND RITUALS THAT WERE PERFORMED

The player gets to know Ines's story of what happened to her in the past. One of the key elements of the game is the search for the peacock feather, which is necessary for the player to gain access to Ines' past. When the player finds a peacock feather, he enters the past, but in a specific way - not only observing the events, but feeling them on his body. This means that the player experiences the physical pain, sadness and emotions that Ines experienced at that moment. This unique mechanism enables a deeper immersion in the story, because the player literally feels the burden of the past, while at the same time the victim's memory is erased.

THE GAME FEATURES LOGIC PUZZLES THAT REQUIRE CAREFUL EXPLORATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND DOCUMENTS

And each word can be the key to progress and solve the puzzles. The combination of atmosphere, story and puzzles provides a deep and layered experience, where every decision and revelation brings a sense of tension and suspense. In addition, the game has a Save/Load and Inventory system, which allows the player to keep track of all the important information he finds during the game. This adds to the strategic aspect of the game, as the player must carefully manage their resources in order to solve puzzles and progress through the story.

THE OVERALL ATMOSPHERE OF THE GAME, COMBINED WITH EMOTIONALLY POWERFUL THEMES

Retro VHS style and carefully crafted puzzles, creates an experience that is both deeply psychological and horror. It draws the player into a world full of dark secrets, emotional turmoil and tense moments. As the player progresses through the story, they not only face external dangers and mysteries, but are forced to come to grips with the internal struggles, traumas, and emotional dilemmas that lie in Ines's past. This complex combination of psychological elements, horror and personal stories creates a deep immersion in the game world, providing players with an unforgettable and emotionally challenging experience that forces them to question the limits of reality and their own emotions as they explore the ever-deepening secrets of a hidden society and the past.

ARE YOU READY TO FEEL SOMEONE ELSE'S PAST AND FACE YOUR OWN DEMONS?

Because this game is unlike anything else you've played in the past. Each puzzle takes you deeper into a world of secret rituals and lost memories. With each step, the past comes alive, and you feel other people's emotions, pain and fear as if they were your own. Are you ready to explore what has been forgotten and face truths long buried?
