About this game
Delve into the Darkness
UNANSWERED is a first-person psychological horror experience where observation and resource management are your only way out. Trapped in an environment that distorts your memories, you must explore every corner looking for vital tools to progress. Use a flashlight to pierce the darkness of the hallways, and switch to your UV flashlight to reveal invisible clues, hidden trails, and messages that the human eye cannot perceive on its own.
Master Your Fear
Every step in this nightmare demands composure. The house and its corners hide blocked routes that you can only open by solving puzzles, tracking down forgotten keys, or manipulating fuse boxes to bring light back to dead zones. Sometimes you will have to force your way through, tearing off planks and overcoming obstacles under a suffocating pressure where your precision will be vital. Measure your steps, control your nerves, and avoid running desperately, or constant stress will cloud your ability to survive, leaving you at the mercy of whatever waits in the shadows.
Survive the Limbo
You are not alone. Terrifying entities lurk in the shadows, and they will not hesitate to hunt you down if you expose yourself too much. In UNANSWERED, death drags you to Limbo, a dark and flooded dimension. To regain consciousness at your last save point, you must navigate this purgatory and find the light before it is too late.
This base game includes Act 1 of the UNANSWERED story. Subsequent acts will be released as DLC in the future.
