"I built this place to break them. Now it's breaking me."
Pestilence is a first-person psychological horror game about a man who murdered four people, built an underground facility to extract their confessions, and woke up trapped inside it with no memory. You are both the architect and the prisoner. The machines you designed to punish others are now the only way out.
THE FACILITY
This is not a walking simulator. The bunker is a machine, and it's broken.
Repair generators, align pressure valves, and reroute power to unlock deeper levels
Find the tapes. Decipher the codes. The blueprint of this place is hiding in your lost memories
A voice on the radio claims to be helping you. Trust it at your own risk
THE MANNEQUINS
They are placed throughout the facility. They don't move. They don't speak. But every time you turn around, something has changed.
THE CONFESSION
You brought four sinners here to make them confess. You built the rooms. You designed the tools. But in the darkness, the roles have reversed. Are you the judge, or the accused?
TWO REALITIES
Your mind fractures between two worlds: the warm, deceptive memories of your family home and the cold machinery of your prison. Explore 90s-era environments to piece together the timeline of a tragedy that led you here.
Pestilence focuses on atmosphere, narrative, and tension. No cheap jump scares. Join our Discord to follow development and share feedback.
