About the Game

The Academy of the Cosmic Realm is a short first-person horror game where you explore an old abandoned academy to discover what terrible event led to it's closure.

Story:

The Academy of the Cosmic Realm was once a prestigious academy focused on studying the mysteries of the Cosmic Realm and the creatures who dwell there. 50 years ago it was suddenly shut down and all those within the building were presumed dead. You are tasked with exploring the old abandoned academy to discover what event led to it's closure. As you explore, you will learn that the history of the academy was wrought with ambition, conspiracy, and Lovecraftian horrors of world ending proportions.

Gameplay:

You will explore the academy on foot, and through your exploration you will find notes and items belonging to the professors and students who attended the academy. These items will help you learn of the academy and the world it inhabits, but it is up to you to piece together what information you find to learn about the devastation that led to the abandonment of the academy. The academy is full of secrets, hidden doors and secret hidey holes. It is up to you to uncover as many as you can to better understand the story.

Features:

  • A story of conspiracy and Lovecraftian horror uncovered through exploration. 

  • An atmosphere full of eeriness and dread.

  • Exploration built around finding notes and items with descriptions that expand the lore and worldbuilding.

  • A short experience, intended to be finished in an hour or two.
