Step into the abandoned Vandermere Mansion, where the echoes of a brutal past still linger. Uncover the horrifying secrets hidden within its decaying walls, but beware—something is watching you.

UNCOVER A DARK PAST

Scattered throughout the mansion are newspaper clippings and forgotten notes, each revealing the terrifying truth of what happened decades ago. Will you piece together the full story before it’s too late?

A SHORT BUT INTENSE HORROR EXPERIENCE

[REC] Desolation delivers a compact yet terrifying horror experience. With its haunting atmosphere, high-quality visuals, and immersive sound design, prepare for a journey into fear you won’t soon forget.

SOLVE THE PUZZLES, SURVIVE THE NIGHT

The mansion holds more than just ghosts—it holds mysteries. Solve intricate puzzles to unlock new areas and uncover the chilling fate of the Vandermere family.

IS SOMEONE WATCHING YOU?

Strange noises. Flickering lights. Shadows that seem to move on their own. You are not alone in this house. Keep your camera close—what you see through its lens may be your only warning.
