About the Game

EARLY DEVELOPMENT

WIDEN is still in early development stages with lots of temporary art and experimental gameplay.

WIDEN

Step into the fractured mind of Mason, an ex-military soldier haunted by past wounds.

While wandering around this decaying, deserted city, time flies and starts to distort his perception. He encounters multiple disfigured figures speaking in cryptic riddles.

WIDEN is a psychological horror experience focused on atmosphere, exploration, and story-driven puzzles.
Navigate the city's empty streets, live through past distorted memories, and survive against creatures that feed on fear.

GAMEPLAY Features

  • Explore and Uncover - Uncover secrets hidden in the fog-covered streets, apartments, and abandoned areas.

  • Story-Driven puzzles - Solve environmental and psychological puzzles to piece together Mason's past.

  • Tense Encounters - Outsmart enemies that react to sound and light. Sometimes escaping is your only chance.

  • Dynamic Sound and Atmosphere - Every sound matters. The city breathes, whispers, and changes around you.
