About the Game

After opening a mysterious package, Shinji Ueda finds himself trapped on a deadly island and hunted by his past, with only one choice: survival. Perished Truth is an adrenaline-fueled single-player survival horror game, blending classic "Resident Evil" and "Saw" influences with a highly customizable control scheme.

Shinji's life was shattered after the death of his wife. Desperate to save his terminally ill daughter from sharing the same fate as her mother, he turned to the dark web, crossing paths with forces far more dangerous than he ever imagined. Now, hunted for sins he thought he left behind, Shinji wakes up trapped on a desolate island with other captives, each hiding dark secrets of their own. To survive, he must endure a series of twisted trials... where failure means death.

Perished Truth fuses classic fixed-camera, tank-control survival horror with modernized controls and aiming. Customize your experience to play your way. Explore a forgotten island, scavenge for weapons and supplies, and face off against the infected, and possibly, your fellow captives. Solve environmental puzzles, unlock new paths, and piece together the truth behind your captors... before time runs out and you become one of the infected.

  • Classic survival horror tension with modernized controls
