Pixelwave Off

Pixelwave Off is an episodic first-person exploration horror game set in an abandoned studio. You return to Pixelwave Entertainment to search for your missing friend, a police officer who disappeared while patrolling the area. You visited the studio as a child, and now explore its dusty, uncanny spaces alone to find your friend and uncover what happened there.

The studio

Pixelwave Entertainment was founded in 1966 by two people and created programs, video games and published books. In 1983, scientists joined the company; years later, they created a dangerous invention that eventually led to the studio’s shutdown. Strange places fill the studio, including areas that once looked different. A Light Corruption System protects parts of the building from horrors lurking in the shadows.

Explore and investigate

You use a flashlight, collect abandoned documents and solve interactive puzzles. The Light Corruption System helps you gain access to new locations, while collectible notes and environmental details reveal more about the studio. The game includes backrooms-style environments and atmospheric, uncanny horror.

Episodes

The game includes Episode 1, which introduces the core mechanics, atmosphere and beginning of the story, and Episode 2. Future episodes are planned as free updates, with each intended to improve on the previous one in quality, gameplay and atmosphere.
