About Us

We are a very small team of two IT students from Germany. We've always enjoyed horror games that could be played with friends and wanted to create the best possible multiplayer game for others to enjoy. Since we were young we have played horror games and always thought of ways to improve them. Now here we are, inspired by a lot of great horror titles, improving any horror game idea and bringing them together into one game while adding our own touch to it.

After the release of Unreal Engine 5, we saw a big chance to use its power to develop one of the first larger scale indie multiplayer horror games with next-gen visuals. The development might still take a while since we are two people working on the project. However, if we get the chance to reach out to an interested community we would love to collect ideas by a potential playerbase and work with you! We would like to release an Early Access version of the game during 2023 to give you a taste of the game while we are working on it.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will the game be on Steam?

The game will be on Steam during 2023. We plan to launch during Q4, 2023. It is most likely that we will launch in October. On Steam, you can wishlist the game now!

How much will the game cost?

The game will not be expensive, it will cost 9.99€.

How long to beat the game?

After several new implementations and updates, our playtime for new players has changed. The demo has shown that you can probably expect around 1-2 hours of gameplay per chapter (with 6 planned chapters excluding intro and epilogue). The game will feature decisions and can be played multiple times.

How many players are the maximum?

The game can be played up to 5 people. We have always considered that in every game that is played with up to 4 players, you often had to exclude one person. This is an attempt to go against that.

Will the game be updated?

Yes, the game will launch with a polished Early Access version and will of course have updates. Minor updates are planned as optimization changes and bugfixes, major updates will add new chapters to the game, expanding the story and content in general.

Will the game support cross-playing?

If the project comes to consoles, yes, we have already integrated Epic Online Services to make cross-platform playing possible. However, the current version uses Steam only.

Will the game support VR?

Yes, we have implemented a simplified VR support for an upcoming Demo and the Early Access version. We would like to keep working on that during Early Access to offer an optimized and polished VR experience.
