About the Game

A PS2-inspired analog horror game with remastered graphics. Now cracked, its mystery can be unraveled. Collect items and cheats to glitch out of bounds, find exploitable developer rooms, and escape the madness. Are you prepared to step into the shadows?

The player is thrust into the role of a nameless protagonist tasked with investigating the strange happenings on an old farm. Discover the mystery of what happened to your daughter, Hantu. On the journey finding a plethora of tools and items to aid in her search. For example, your upgradable polaroid camera can be used to aluminate dark spaces. But be careful, because monsters often hide in these areas and are hard to see. To find Hantu, puzzles involving items must be solved. Most items can be interacted with, consumed, or picked up with your hand. Mastery of the tools and consumables is the key to finding Her. Hidden secrets from Cheat Codes to Unlockable areas litter the landscape. It is up to you to find them. Are you brave enough to look within the shadows and find Hantu?
