About this game

The year is the 2020s.

Gothenburg is marked by an ongoing investigation into a serial killer.

You play as Erik, an office worker who, after a long and exhausting day, just wants to get home. Snow falls quietly over the city and cold winds sweep through the silent streets. But something about this evening feels different. What begins as an ordinary journey home through Gothenburg gradually turns into an increasingly unsettling experience.

The game is a story-driven thriller horror experience in a first-person perspective. Dialogue choices and interactions shape how the experience unfolds, while you encounter puzzles that must be solved to progress.

This is an experience built on atmosphere, presence and the feeling that something is not right.

Includes

  • An atmospheric depiction of Gothenburg on a late winter evening

  • A story-driven thriller horror game with dialogue choices (multiple choice)

  • Puzzles that are naturally integrated into the game’s progression

  • First-person exploration with a focus on immersion

  • Dynamic sound design that enhances atmosphere and tension

    All you need to do is get home.
