About the Game

Silver Falls is a first-person psychological horror game with a VHS aesthetic, telling the story of a complex and unsettling investigation.

Take on the role of a detective arriving at the Silver Falls resort. Local authorities have requested your assistance following a macabre discovery. Now, together with your partner, you must examine the motel grounds and forest campsites. Late summer in Alaska brings cold nights and an eerie silence where ordinary clues lead to terrifying conclusions. You will soon realize that in Silver Falls, reality is much more fragile than it seems.

Gameplay

The game is a first-person walking simulator with a focus on exploration and finding leads. You will navigate the dark woods, solve environmental problems, and use logic to progress. Attentiveness and intuition are your primary tools in this investigation.
