About the Game

"Secrets don’t stay locked away forever."

While investigating the disappearance of his daughter Sarah, Mark—helped by his friend, Sheriff Poul—stumbles upon clues that lead him straight to a mysterious company known as "THE BOX." Behind locked doors, empty corridors, and forgotten documents, something far greater is waiting to be revealed.

The Box of Fear

A first-person survival horror game that blends:

  • Narrative exploration

  • Moments of tension

  • Action and survival

  • Puzzles and interconnected clues

  • Claustrophobic environments and an unsettling atmosphere

"Would you open the box?"

Prepare yourself for a silent, intimate, and disturbing journey, where each step may reveal something you’d rather not have discovered.
