About the Game

“SHE WAS 98” is a first-person psychological horror with a creepy, pressurizing atmosphere.

You are a young man, the grandson of an almost century-old grandmother who is living out her days in her once cozy but long dilapidated apartment. Her relatives have long ago withdrawn from her, the medics speak of “senile dementia”, but you come to care for her - out of duty? Or in the hope that after her death the apartment will be left to you?

Everything starts as a routine: pills by the hour, quiet evenings, the smell of dust and mothballs. But grandma's acting, uh. strange. Sometimes she looks at you like she doesn't recognize you. Sometimes she looks at you like she sees someone else. At night you wake up to her footsteps behind the wall. Or is that not her?

"SHE WAS 98" is a story of fear, self-interest and payback. The line between victim and hunter blurs, and every step you take brings you closer to a secret that might be better left unknown.
