Description

A SPIRITUAL NIGHTMARE

A single-player, third person horror action-adventure game set on a remote island spiritual retreat. A peaceful weekend soon turns to dread after a group chant opens The Gloom, a psychedelic dimension of terror that feeds off negative energy. Interact with a recurring cast of characters, untangle the complex history of the island, and witness terrifying revelations about the cosmos. Only you can fight off the creatures, reason with the survivors, and unravel the legacy of a cult from the 1970s to reverse the ritual.

EXPLORE AN ISLAND FILLED WITH COSMIC DREAD

Interact with the other members of the retreat as they slowly become consumed by their own negative energy. Survive against an array of prismatic creatures and cultists released from The Gloom as you piece together the weird history of the island.

FIGHT OR FLIGHT

You must choose your fights and battle for survival with spiritual weapons and abilities. Collect, craft, and manage your resources to take your chances in close combat - or succumb to panic and flee.

MIND BODY SPIRIT

Balance is everything. Steel your mind against horror and panic; Protect your body against physical threats; Elevate your spirit to meditate and access supernatural abilities.

MODERN PSYCHEDELIC HORROR

Inspired by the psychedelic horror of the 1970s, experience a landscape of colored lighting and an electronic rock soundtrack, composed by the award-winning Paul Ruskay.

Realistic depiction of what it's like to be a member of church of scientology. Right of the bat I want to address the stuttering, not sure why it keeps happening every time I launch the game and then after 10 minutes it

If you're thinking about trying this game, save your money and look for something better. The experience started off rough with constant stuttering. I looked up a workaround and ended up launching the game directly from

Loved this game. Played it on stream. Wish they made another. Story was very good. Would love a TTRPG book setting based on this game and it's lore. Would play sequel/prequel titles in the future if any get made.

A glimpse into Epstein Island. Figuratively and, could very well be, literally. Excellent horror game with multiple endings. Not too scary, but a whole lot of creepy. It does remind me a little of Alan Wake, which is a

This was a good game, but it can be sneaky. Make sure you go into the endgame prepared, or you could end up having to replay part of it like I did. Other than that, the game was awesome. In fact, so good that I was
