14 itemsAbout the Game
Step into the role of a detective whose family has been abducted. Re-join your former agency to track the culprit, only to realize the threat is far larger than a missing persons case.
The Astral Plane has begun bleeding into our world. The abductor’s failed experiments have left behind a trail of possessed humans and fanatical cultists. Track their footsteps. Collect evidence. Banish the spirits standing in your way.
No two investigations are the same. Our procedural puzzle generation ensures that puzzles shift, solutions change, and the spirits behave unexpectedly depending on your progress in the game.
Solve or Die features non-linear gameplay that lets you tackle objectives at your own speed and in any direction. Every map you pass grants a unique final clue toward solving the "Great Mystery." How you piece them together is up to you.
Maps: There are currently 3 maps available to play, each featuring different story and a case to solve
Singleplayer: Enjoy the game on your own, although it might be way harder to solve puzzle while having to watch your back
Multiplayer: Invite your friends. Turn the light off. Scream and have fun. Watch each other's backs. Only cooperation will get you through the whole game
As you gather evidence across multiple maps, the line between "good" and "evil" begins to blur. You aren't just hunting a former - you're uncovering his vision. When the final clue is found, the ending isn't written for you. You choose your destiny. Will you banish the Astral Plane, or help it claim our world?
Between investigations, retreat to your detective base. Here, the evil can't reach you. Use this time to study case files, piece together the history of the Astral Plane, and prepare for the next hunt. And if it gets too hard? Throw toilet paper at your co-detectives, grab a drink, or play some mini-games before heading back into the dark.
