About the Game



You, a 48 year old journalist Abraham Torres move to the infamous Freedom Towers to clear up the mysteries and horrors which have been haunting the resident for years and years.

You investigate the apartments and rooms, find out the secrets of other residents and at the end you hope to write a book about all the secrets of Freedom Towers. Or maybe everything will turn out differently than you think. Get to know to your fears and your feelings.

Sometimes They Come Back is a game in which you will experience a deep swamp full of sorrow, pain, and agony — but also joy, compassion, and pride. Solve the puzzles, find out secrets, cry and suffer with the stories you discover. STCB is not your typical horror game, it is a game you will talk and dream about.
