About the Game

Step into Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, 1946, as a detective investigating a string of brutal disappearances. Your investigation quickly unearths a chilling reality—anatomically precise murders, demons lurking in the shadows, and the journal of a missing child, Tommy, that reveals a deadly trap. In this twisted survival horror experience, you must flee from or fight against relentless demonic entities using faith, holy artifacts, and The Holy Bible.

In a 2-3 hour psychological horror experience, encounter terrifying chases and intense, music-driven boss fights as you uncover clues to Riker Manor's dark history. Exercise your investigation and puzzle solving skills in order to find an escape. Each choice pushes you closer to one of multiple endings, with disturbing game-over animations if you fail. Packed with hidden lore and haunting Easter eggs, Wellsboro's sinister secrets will stay with you long after you escape—or join the list of the missing.
