About the Game

You should have stayed home

The entire country is under a state of disaster. Civil liberties are being stripped, and police are allowed to conduct investigations without any interference. As Jonah Clay, a detective with the Barrenton police department, you are sent to investigate the home of a young man involved in a car accident earlier in the evening.


As if the circumstances behind searching this home weren't strange enough, you quickly discover something is very, very wrong with this case.

Discover the truth


Opening Up is an exploration-based psychological horror game. You will explore a home, collect testimony, and uncover clues in order to find out the events that led up to the homeowner's accident.

No-knock Raid


Take your time exploring the home, you will not be interrupted in any way. In Opening Up, there are no monsters or killers out to get you.
