Dwelling

Dwelling is a first-person psychological horror-survival game set in a modern-day Indian school abandoned after unexplained deaths and disappearances. You play as a police officer investigating reports of hauntings who discovers that your friend is already inside. What begins as a routine check leads into a hostile place inhabited by spirits that seek to kill.

The abandoned school

Classrooms, corridors, staff rooms, playgrounds and locked offices retain traces of ordinary school life, while supernatural influence twists the surroundings. Rusted iron gates, tiled corridors, chalkboards, desks and staff quarters sit alongside flickering lights, broken fans, prayer corners and ritual markings.

Investigate and survive

You explore the school to uncover what happened, investigate paranormal disturbances and enter locked-off areas. Dark corridors, limited visibility and environmental storytelling encourage careful movement, close listening and attention to the spaces around you. The environment reacts to your presence, adding to the psychological pressure and jump scares.

Ghosts patrol and stalk the school, reacting to your movement and presence. Each represents a corrupted authority figure, such as a teacher, caretaker or staff member, and each section introduces deadlier spirits with distinct behaviours. If a ghost sees or catches you, it kills you violently; encounters are designed to feel personal, slow and inevitable.

The final confrontation

Threats escalate toward a final encounter with the devil itself. The progression leads from survival to confrontation, rather than escape.
