About the Game



You feel like every time you blink it moves a little bit closer.
Several days have passed already.
Just keep your eyes on the red fridge and everything will be ok. Right?



SIX TALES FROM THE RED FRIDGE

This is an anthology of six different first-person horror stories.
Each one of the episodes explores a specific theme and gameplay idea.

Staring contest with the fridge monster. Infinite maze of the hospital hallways and archive backrooms. Haunted road trip through the snowy highway…

Experience many more liminal spaces, surreal encounters, and uncanny strangers in the full game.

Could all that be connected somehow? Will you reveal the biggest secret the Red Fridge is keeping?
