About the Game

SEARCH PARTY is a survival horror game inspired by the cat/mouse gameplay of Clock Tower, and the resource management of classic Resident Evil.

Claire's 8-year-old brother, Daniel, is missing. While looking for him during a search party, she finds herself completely lost and alone in the woods. She eventually spots a strange house in the distance... could Daniel be inside?



  • Search for tools and weapons to defend yourself as you sink deeper into a hopeless nightmare of despair.
  • Move carefully through the house. He's hiding and waiting for you.
  • Enjoy beautiful SNES style graphics that extend beyond the limitations of the 90s
  • Prepare to be shocked and sicken by this morbid true crime slasher tale.



What's New in the Director's Cut?
  • 2 new (secret) endings. A total of 5 endings to discover.
  • A new area to explore, which expands on an existing ending for the original game.
  • Unlockable costumes and items, for post-game completionists.
  • Some re-done art assets, and additional environmental detail / interaction.
  • Lots of other tiny tweaks and additions that make this a more complete version over the original.

Even if you've already played the original, there's still plenty of reasons to rejoin the SEARCH PARTY!
