About the Game

Overview

You are part of a scouting mission sent to a long-abandoned valley to investigate the ruins of a corporation that once controlled the area. However, the moment you and your team arrive, things go horribly wrong. You wake in the dead of night in your encampment to find your companions long gone—possibly dead. Waiting until daylight isn’t an option. Whatever took your crew is still out there and actively hunting you. Follow the road, get out, and keep moving.

Features

  • First-person shooting: Reminiscent of horror games such as Resident Evil 7, but limited to only a pistol and a flashlight attachment that you can find.

  • Inventory management: Manage a tight inventory that can be expanded if you find the proper equipment.

  • Four unique enemies: In this game, you are always near an enemy that can kill you in unpredictable ways. It's up to you to evade them or try to fight back.

  • Puzzles and more: Mild puzzles, a vehicle you can find and use, and unexplained phenomena are scattered throughout the valley! Some are deadly, while others are not so much...
