About the Game

The Lost File is a first-person psychological horror where each location operates by its own laws of survival.

You are a journalist investigating a serial killer. The trail leads to places that appear on no official map. Shuttered institutions, archives with files on people who "never existed," buildings whose existence is officially denied. What happened here — and why was it meant to stay hidden?

The truth unfolds in fragments: torn report pages, audio recordings that cut off mid-sentence, deleted files on terminals. Every document is a piece of something larger.

Surviving is harder than finding the truth. Each location has its own inhabitants and its own rules. No one explains the rules. You must learn them from your surroundings, from the behavior of whatever lives here. The monsters respond to your movement, sound, and gaze — not just to your character's actions.

No weapons. No hints. Only you, the darkness, and rules you don't yet know.
