About this game

In a world where the occult and the unknown intertwine, you take on the role of Miguel, a dedicated member of a Masonic fraternity, determined to uncover the mysteries surrounding the disappearance of his brothers. Your investigation leads you to a grand Masonic residence, where dark and disturbing secrets lurk in every corner, and a Masonic temple awaits chilling revelations.

The story revolves around a sacred amulet, brought from Egypt after an excavation conducted by the fraternity members. What initially seemed like an invaluable archaeological relic quickly becomes an object of pure terror, with powers that transcend human understanding.

As you explore the residence and the hidden temple in its depths, Miguel must face supernatural phenomena, cryptic clues, and unspeakable horrors. With the fate of his brothers at stake, he discovers that the amulet may be the key to a mystery that dates back to ancient civilizations and interdimensional forces beyond our reality.

Prepare yourself for a journey of psychological terror, investigation, and occultism, where every choice may be crucial, and the secrets of the past could come at a terrible cost.

    News Adjustments

    After watching some content creators playing Ancestral, I decided to adjust some details for better immersion. Adjusted the collision of the desk in the attic. Adjusted the post process to make the view a little clearer. Adjusted some scares for greater impact. Adjusted the "ESC" button, so if a widget remains on the screen (which happens in rare cases), accessing the game menu will allow the widget to be automatically removed from the screen.

    AI Adjustment

    Update to the AI: now it can no longer see or hear, but it is faster and has unpredictable movements. Update to some scares: Adjustments made to some moments of the game for better immersion. FPS drop in the basement: A FPS drop occurred on some peripherals due to the AI ​​becoming stagnant looking at the player when he was in a place where it could not reach him. Now it is always moving and the FPS drop no longer occurs. The AI ​​also no longer stands at the door waiting for the player to enter or exit.
