About the Game

"You are the player, and must chase the Boogie Man.

If you catch him, you win! And that's the happy ending.

If you don't catch him, you lose, and what awful bad ending may await you then?"

This is the third title in the Strange Man series, developed by Uri Games.

After Keith takes his wife, Helena, with him on a mandatory holiday at a castle, Helena makes a startling confession.

You play as Keith, a cold detective, sent on a work vacation by his boss. After arriving at the castle him and his wife take a tour of, the Boogie Man appears, and in his wake, murders appear.

As Keith is obsessed with protecting people after his son’s death, he chases after the Boogie Man, in hopes to end the murders and the frightful night of “entertainment”.

The Steam version features special additions such as achievements and multi-language localization.
