About the Game

CONCEPT

I’m still being haunted by the memories of a past life.

Where You Were is an atmospheric anomaly game about holding on to a memory as much as struggling to move on. It’s about documenting subtle changes that threaten to rewrite the memories you hold near and dear.

MECHANICS

Observe. Document. Capture.

Study the hallway carefully. Any changes, both major and subtle, must be recorded. Use your camera to capture the anomaly, and only by documenting all the anomalies can you restore the memory to its original form.

FEATURES

  • A subtle, psychological loop.

  • An atmospheric experience where horror stems from absence rather than presence.

  • An in-game camera mechanic that outputs beautiful Polaroid-like photos.

  • A haunting story told entirely through the environment and atmosphere.
