About the Game

It was supposed to be a simple trip. A return to your grandparents' abandoned home to retrieve old childhood photos.

But the house is not what it seems.

What begins as a sentimental visit quickly spirals into a nightmare. Lens of Darkness is a first-person psychological horror where the house pulls you into a surreal, impossible world - a labyrinth built from your own memories and forgotten traumas.

Reality itself is breaking. Corridors loop impossibly, leading to places born of pain and fear. Something has trapped you here. Something that knows your past and manipulates reality to break you.

You must uncover your family's dark secret and find a way to escape before this nightmarish world consumes you forever.

KEY FEATURES:

  • Psychological Terror: Face a horror that twists your mind and perception.

  • Surreal Exploration: Traverse impossible, ever-changing locations bound by a nightmarish logic.

  • A Dark Mystery: Uncover the truth about the nightmares that took place in this house and the force that is now hunting you.

  • Fight or Flee: Solve environmental puzzles and fight for your life to survive confrontations with entities born from trauma.
