Project S.A.R.A is a first-person psychological thriller set in an isolated firewatch tower deep in the mountains. You play as a man escaping the grief of losing his wife by taking a solitary job in the wilderness. What begins as a quiet escape slowly unravels into a haunting mystery.
Your only lifeline is a walkie-talkie connecting you to someone named Sara. As your days in the tower pass, strange events begin to unfold—objects move on their own, shadows appear where they shouldn’t, and the forest seems to watch your every move.
With no combat, no maps, and no jump scares, the horror comes from atmosphere, isolation, and the unsettling sense that you're being drawn into something you don’t fully understand.
Alone in the forest, your only lifeline is a mysterious voice on the radio. What secrets lie beyond the door?
Strange frequencies. Distorted voices. Reality is starting to slip
Someone – or something – was here. But there’s no sign of them leaving.
