8 itemsAbout the Game
Samara is a semi–open world psychological horror game inspired by Thai beliefs and folklore, blending elements of mystery and dark fantasy.
You play as a high school student who, along with your classmates, has been assigned to serve a punishment trip to clean up an abandoned rural school for three days.
But as night falls, strange things begin to happen.
Each night, one of your friends disappears without a trace. While searching for them, you are suddenly attacked—and killed.
Yet, instead of dying…
you wake up again on the first day.
Caught in an endless time loop, you must uncover the truth, and find the murderer.
Every decision you make—every conversation, every discovery—can lead to a different path.
Will you save your friends and escape together?
Or will your choices lead to a different ending altogether?
