About the Game

Scour the abandoned corridors of Tasselwood High School. A routine check in the middle of the night turns in to a fatal game of cat-and-mouse.

Why was the school sealed off in such haste?
What is Project Luminaire?
Who killed Bethany Carlington?
And who’s waiting for you in the halls that should’ve been empty?

  • Exploration & Puzzles
    Search classrooms, offices, and ruined corridors for clues. The building itself resists you - collapsing elements, locked doors, and fragments of a story hidden in forgotten corners.

  • Non-Linear Storytelling
    Multiple paths, multiple endings. Environmental storytelling leads you forward, but the truth won’t be handed to you. Optional secrets reveal answers you weren’t even asking for.

  • Hunted in the Dark
    You’re not alone. Keep your flashlight close - the shadows are watching, and they move when you don’t.

  • No saves - immersion is survival

  • Headphones recommended for full impact

This psychological horror game deals with heavy themes which may be upsetting. Play at your own discretion.
