Barcha

Barcha is a psychological horror game about Hannibal, a father who breaks into a wealthy Tunisian family's mansion to steal money for his gravely ill daughter's surgery. He believes the owners are away, but discovers that Dr. Emin Goodman and his family are home. Dr. Goodman manages the Purple Cat Quantum Research Center, where researchers have opened a doorway to alternate realities, including a supernatural jinn world.

The mansion and the compass

Hannibal learns that two teams explored the other reality: one disappeared into the void, while the other returned with strange relics, including an old compass. Dr. Goodman becomes obsessed with the compass and locks it away in his chilling room. Hoping to sell it to pay for his daughter's surgery, Hannibal touches it, opening a hidden door to a twisted version of the mansion filled with ghosts, spirits and jinns.

Trapped between two realms, Hannibal explores the haunted house and investigates the compass and its connection to the jinn world. He meets a member of the lost exploration team who may be able to help him escape. His decisions affect the story and its multiple endings, including the fate of his daughter and his own sanity.
