About the Game

The Heritage is a first-person psychological horror game where the past refuses to stay buried.

After receiving news of an unexpected inheritance, you travel to an old family estate left abandoned for decades. What begins as a simple visit to claim what’s yours soon turns into a descent into fear and mystery. The house hides more than just memories — it holds the restless presence of those who came before you.

As you explore the decaying rooms, solve intricate puzzles, and piece together fragments of the family’s dark history, you’ll uncover chilling truths about why the house was never truly left behind. Every creak of the floor, every whisper in the dark, draws you closer to a revelation that blurs the line between inheritance and curse.

Can you uncover the truth before the house claims you as its next heir?

🕯️ Features:

  • Atmospheric first-person exploration

  • Story-driven puzzles that reveal hidden secrets

  • Immersive sound design and haunting visuals

  • A slowly unfolding mystery tied to your family’s past

  • No combat — only survival through discovery and courage

The Heritage — Some legacies are better left forgotten.
