Story
Withered Haven is a first person psychological horror experience.
Step into the shoes of a man who has had his entire world ripped from him, his family lost to an unsolved disappearance. Reality collapses as he struggles to cling to normalcy. Trudging through his days and nights, he begins to notice supernatural occurrences and familiar presences, strangely corrupted beyond recognition. Will he find out what happened to his family, or will he succumb to the apparitions stalking his every move?
Environment
Even after burying himself in his work, the office doesn't seem the same. Though initially ordinary, everywhere you go something feels off. The air feels oppressively heavy, as if the very walls were watching him, hiding something just beyond the reach of the lights. Outside, the streets lie eerily silent, stretching empty and still, a deceptive calm. The family home, after being so painfully empty for so long, begins to stir once again.
Gameplay
You can run and you can hide, but you are powerless against supernatural entities. Search for key items, solve puzzles, and interact with the environment to progress as you avoid what horrors might be lurking and watching. Do not draw their attention to yourself.
