About the Game

🧠 The Story

Missing Texture is a psychological horror narrative experience structured into chapters, all accessible from a central Launcher.

The Launcher acts as the core of the Missing Texture universe, allowing you to access every main chapter while keeping your progress unified.

But there is something more.

The story is not told only through the main chapters.

It fragments.
It hides.
It rebuilds itself.

🏚️ An Interconnected Narrative Universe

The saga is divided into:

📖 Main Chapters (Free)

  • Up to 4 planned chapters.

  • The central story of abduction and distorted reality.

  • Direct continuation between episodes.

🧩 Side Games (Some Free, Some Under €5)

  • Narrative expansions.

  • Alternative stories.

  • Perspectives from other characters.

  • Events that connect to the main storyline.

They are not required to understand the story…
but they change how you interpret it.

🏚️ Setting – The House

You are inside what appears to be a normal house.

But something is wrong.

Hallways that don’t align.
Rooms that change.
Doors that appear where nothing stood before.
Textures that disappear.

And someone who lives there.
