Haunted: Village

Haunted: Village is a first-person, story-driven folkloric horror game set in an abandoned village in Anatolia. You investigate an ancient curse and the malevolent entity that has enslaved the villagers, while avoiding the dangers in the darkness.

The village and its curse

A long-buried evil has taken root beneath the village. You piece together the tragedy and the sin that awakened it by finding scattered notes, symbols and clues, then try to break the curse at its source. The story draws on Turkic and Islamic mythology, including spirits, malevolent entities, protective talismans and dark rituals.

Explore and solve puzzles

You search the village and its surroundings for clues, connect what you find and solve puzzles to overcome supernatural locks and spells. Progression is linear, but exploration includes stretches of freedom in vast, shadowy fields as well as narrow, claustrophobic corridors. Danger can come from anywhere.

Darkness and sound

You navigate pitch-black environments with limited light sources. Crackles, whispers and distant murmurs signal the threatening presence around you.
