Dwell

Dwell is a first-person psychological horror game about Minh Thu, a 26-year-old woman who drives into a remote mountain region to escape the pressures of her life and take a quiet break. When her car breaks down, she takes shelter in a stranger’s house on the edge of a dark forest. As the night grows more unsettling, she suspects something is watching her, and her survival depends on the choices you make.

Explore the house and forest

You explore the strange house and the surrounding forest at night, where familiar spaces gradually feel wrong and ordinary details become unsettling. The story focuses on mood, unease and small details, with a grounded mountain setting. Finding clues in notes and objects, including numbers, helps you solve light environmental puzzles.

Run and hide

Dwell is primarily a narrative walking simulator built around slow-building tension, exploration and tense chase-and-hide sequences rather than combat. You can run and hide, but have no way to fight back; limited light and vulnerability heighten the danger. A playthrough takes about 1.5 hours, depending on how much you explore.
