Akelarre

Akelarre is a psychological horror game in which you play as Gustavo, a reporter investigating disturbing events in the dark forests of Urkaitz, in the Basque Country. Struggling with severe financial problems, he hopes to find a story that will help him pay off his debts. As he explores deeper into the forest, he confronts ghosts from his past and discovers that something beyond human understanding lurks among the trees.

Explore the forest

You search the forest and solve environmental puzzles using tools and physics to move and interact with objects. Exploring its corners helps uncover the dark secret it hides. The game features character-driven dialogue and takes about 1–2 hours to complete.

Basque folklore

Akelarre draws on Basque legends about witches’ sabbaths, incorporating them into its world and story. Its visual style and atmosphere also take inspiration from Francisco de Goya’s Black Paintings and the films of David Lynch. The game uses PS1-inspired retro visuals.
