About the Game

A psychological horror about searching for your missing dog in a forest where the silence itself listens to your every breath from between the trees.

Just you and your dog, Pablo, far from the noise of the city.
A quiet weekend getaway. A secluded cabin deep in the woods — the perfect escape from everyday life.

But the night has other plans.

Pablo vanishes without a trace into the suffocating darkness of the forest, and calm turns into a nightmare in an instant.
No phone. No signal. No help. Only the woods and the growing, oppressive silence.

Your goal is simple: find him, no matter the cost.

  • Darkness is your enemy
    In this forest, your eyes will fail you. The darkness devours everything, and something watches from between the trees.

  • A dangerous call
    Whistle for Pablo to find your way in the dark — but be careful.
    Every sound you make draws not only him closer, but something else as well.

  • Your hearing is your compass
    As long as you hear his distant barking, you are not alone.
    But how long can you trust your senses in a place where a single mistimed sound can turn you into prey?
