A short story of about 50 minutes awaits you! I hope you enjoy it.
Don't think of this project as something that will seriously scare you — it wasn’t intended to be a terrifying horror game, but rather more of an experiment or a fun little joke!
You receive a job from a dealer and learn that a group of archaeologists has discovered an ancient tomb in an abandoned mine near the city! Now you must get inside and steal the ancient artifacts to sell them.
You will have to explore the forest surroundings and the tomb to find anything valuable. Since you are an experienced thief, you have an active skill called "Thief’s Instinct." It highlights tracks and important items! Keep that in mind!
Pretty Good graphics and surround sound completely immerse you in the eerie atmosphere of this mysterious place!
Mara isn’t your typical first-person indie horror. You won’t find tons of loud jumpscares here. I wanted to create a small, interesting, dark, and sometimes funny story, so I focused more on the overall atmosphere rather than fear.
