How it feels

A tense, atmospheric choose-your-own-adventure horror game where fear points track your dread as you navigate a haunted mansion.

What players say

Players praise the faithful adaptation of the classic Fighting Fantasy gamebook, noting its modern horror setting and the punishing fear mechanic that makes it harder than other entries. The mansion layout is confusing and success requires a specific item path, with some reporting bugs on easier difficulties that trivialize combat.
