About the Game

Kalaban is a horror-themed action-adventure game by Rayhouse Productions. The game focuses on storytelling and open-ended gameplay.

STORY:
The year is 1995, in an alternate history version of Finland. Bob, a hermit and an American who has moved to Finland, lives in a backwater cabin by himself. One night he is attacked by a hideous dog-like mutant. Now he must find out what is going on, and discover the reason behind the outbreak.

FEATURES:
  • Unique story and characters: While the game has a basic premise of mutant invasion, it also features a story with real depth and complexity.

  • Top-down action: Combat and exploration are the heart of this game. You kill monsters, gain loot and eat food to heal yourself. We wanted to make the combat fun and approachable.

  • Player choice matters: Your actions and choices affect the how the story plays out. The game can be described as an immersive sim from a top-down perspective.

  • Hand-crafted world: All the level backgrounds are unique, and the main character is completely hand-animated. We wanted to achieve a high level of polish with the art.





    For all the players looking for new releases from GameRealmMadness - ENEMY REMAINS is a punishing and action-packed continuation to Kalaban, with all new frights, foes and horrors. Available now on Steam Early Access!
