Ire: A Prologue

Ire: A Prologue is a first-person narrative horror game about Emily, a young teenager searching for her missing father aboard a haunted ship lost in the Bermuda Triangle. You must unlock 13 mysterious doors in the ship’s dark, narrow corridors while a monster stalks you. The game begins a larger story set in the Ire franchise.

Emily’s story

As you explore the abandoned ship, you can search rooms for journals, cassettes and discarded items to uncover what happened to the missing crew. The story unfolds across 13 loops through the ship, with each loop revealing more of the narrative. The game has a fully voiced story and characters.

Hide from the monster

The monster hunts you and reacts to your actions, becoming smarter as you do. You must stay hidden, using your size and surroundings to outwit it: slip into hiding places, squeeze through vents and make noise to distract it. You can find, use and assemble tools such as walkie-talkies and wind-up alarm clocks to divert the monster.

Sound and atmosphere

The ship’s soundscape uses full 3D spatial audio with 7.1 surround sound. Its orchestral score was recorded at Treasure Isle Studios with the Nashville Recording Orchestra. The Tension System makes ambience, music and breathing respond to your actions, building suspense in real time.
