En 1984, dans le comté de Kapra en Géorgie, Ryan Kappel revient au domaine Road End Estate pour garder la ferme de sa tante. Il y découvre une chambre secrète dans l'écurie abandonnée et des traces d'une corporation disparue liée à des crimes locaux. Ce jeu d'aventure à la première personne propose une intrigue lovecraftienne immersive, au cœur de fermes prospères et de villages animés. Les joueurs explorent des lieux détaillés comme le domaine ou le site de fouilles de Baphomet Corp, en interagissant avec des objets fonctionnels et optionnels qui insufflent vie au monde.
Le cœur du gameplay repose sur le mode Grey Matter, dédié au raisonnement déductif : analyse de indices, recoupement d'observations et exploration de voies alternatives via des énigmes non linéaires. L'histoire principale s'étend sur plus de quatre heures, complétée par des récits secondaires qui approfondissent légendes urbaines et arcs narratifs, comme les Meurtres de l'Arbre aux Fées ou la Panne de 1979. Les amateurs des aventures atypiques des années 90 y retrouveront un mélange de contrastes colorés, d'esthétique et de son inspirés de Kubrick, et un mythos qui met la santé mentale à rude épreuve.
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.

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.
