About the Game

Warning: The game contains light flashes that may trigger epileptic seizures.

THE EXPERIMENT: 49 is a first-person horror game that pulls you into the darkness, making you feel every moment of fear.

A dangerous experiment has escaped from HelixGen Labs and reached a family’s house deep in the forest. You are a police officer who arrives at the scene following a tip-off from a scientist named Sarah Williams. As you uncover the secrets hidden in the dark corners of the house, you will find ways to stop the horror while struggling to survive.

THE EXPERIMENT: 49 delivers everything you expect from horror games and more. If you have the courage, become part of this terrifying story!

Our goal is to neutralize the creature using the devices and clues in the house, but also to reveal the mysteries in the house by solving various puzzles. While doing all this, we must ensure our own safety and find ways to get rid of the creature's threats. In this process, our main goal is to achieve survival by developing the right strategies and to stop the creature's terrifying plans.

The game takes about an hour.
