Nel 1984, nella contea di Kapra, Georgia, Ryan Kappel torna a Road End Estate per occuparsi della fattoria della zia, ma scopre una camera segreta nella stalla abbandonata e indizi su una corporation defunta legata a crimini locali. Questo adventure in prima persona offre una storia lovecraftiana immersiva, tra campi fertili e vivaci abitanti del posto. I giocatori esplorano luoghi dettagliati come la tenuta e il Baphomet Corp Excavation Site, interagendo con elementi funzionali e opzionali che danno vita al mondo.
Il cuore del gameplay ruota attorno alla modalitĂ Grey Matter, dedicata al ragionamento deduttivo: qui si analizzano indizi, si collegano osservazioni e si imboccano percorsi alternativi tramite enigmi non lineari. La trama principale supera le quattro ore, mentre le side story ampliano leggende urbane e archi narrativi come i Fairy Tree Murders e il Blackout del 1979. I fan dei design adventure non convenzionali anni '90 apprezzeranno i contrasti colorati, le suggestioni visive e sonore alla Kubrick e il mythos che mette alla prova la sanitĂ mentale.
It's 1984 in Kapra County, Georgia. A town known for its prosperous farmland and colorful citizens. Ryan Kappel is asked to return to Road End Estate, a prominent farmstead in Kapra County, to farm sit at the request of his Aunt. It’s been 17 years since he visited the relative’s estate with his mother and father. Nonetheless, it didn’t take long to sense unease in the air. The nostalgic trip down memory lane ends abruptly as he discovers a mysterious chamber that laid dormant in the now abandoned stable in addition to a defunct corporation that had hands in every wrong doing around town and a sinister history that drove the ancient natives to the brink of insanity.

Explore the beautifully detailed Road End Estate and many locations around Kapra County, all running on Unreal Engine 4. Lush with interactive elements both functional and optional, all to provide a home away from home as we slowly but surely pull the strings back from the fabric of your mind.
We’re not looking to create another rendition of Shadow Over Innsmouth, Color Out of Time, At The Mountains of Madness or the typical style established by Call of Cthulhu franchise. We want to create our own style built on the love for the non-traditional adventure gameplay designs of the 90s mixed with aesthetics INSPIRED by Stanley Kubrick (Visual and Sound Design) and HP Lovecraft’s sanity shattering mythos and storytelling style. We want to contrast the darkness with color, light and hope to properly expose players to a true sense of virtual insanity instead of the generic endless darkness, monsters, museum tour walking/exposition simulation and monotone atmosphere that “Lovecraftian” and Haunted House games typically offer.
Investigate the mysteries around Kapra County utilizing the Grey Matter mode, a unique take on deductive reasoning. Visually analyze observations and connect the dots to produce suitable outcomes. Alternate paths can be taken to solve various scenarios, offering non-linear problem solving.
Explore a lush and detailed environment, from the Road End Estate to the Baphomet Corp Excavation Site. Each location is fostered with interactivity, both functional and optional, each to make the world dynamic enough to make the player feel at home in our digital world.
4+ hours of Main Story gameplay in addition to side stories that build upon the world’s mythos, urban legends, and characters arcs, including the Fairy Tree Murders case file, Disappearance of Senator Rosenberg, the Blackout of 1979 and much more.
