About the Game

You take on the role of a scavenger, searching for valuables in the ruins of an abandoned town. Entering a house to loot, you quickly realize you've stepped into a nightmare about to unfold.

FEATURES

  • A unique short horror journey driven by an unnerving sense of paranoia and claustrophobia.

  • Multiple endings based on the decisions made throughout the game.

  • Realistic movement/flashlight mechanics that offer complete immersion.

  • Unconventional puzzles that require thinking outside the box.

  • Atmospheric 3D sounds, enhancing the experience and instilling dread. 

  • PS1/PSX retro era pixelated aesthetics, supporting the feeling of 1960s America.

STORY

The town of Prefield was once a bustling hub, built to support the nearby mines and the promise of rich mineral resources. Over time, though, the mines ran dry, and the town began to fade. Families left in search of better opportunities, leading to a slow socioeconomic decline.

What was once a lively community turned into a ghost town, notorious for marauders and scavengers who now roamed the area in search of a fortune. Prefield became a place where few dared to stay, except for those who had nowhere else to go — squatters and the homeless found shelter in the abandoned houses.

You take on the role of a scavenger, looking for valuable items hidden away in the remnants of Prefield. One building stands out to you: an old two-story country house that seems to hold something worthwhile. You decide to explore and see whether there is anything of value that you can take for yourself.
