About the Game

An immersive 2D horror game set in an alternative Victorian London, with a horrifying fourth wall breaking twist.

The year is 1909. The port city of Northpass is plagued by a deranged serial killer known as 'The Collector'. You fill the role of The Detective. Your only goal is seeking misguided redemption by discovering, capturing, and unmasking this menace to your city. Your home.

But not all is as it seems, a dangerous artificial intelligence resides beneath the game itself. You will quickly realise that the main character of the game... is you.
