Psychroma

Psychroma is a psychological horror side-scroller set in a haunted house in a cyberpunk city. In 2489, acid rain corrodes exposed rebar in the half-developed megacity once known as Toronto, where humanity modifies itself at an unprecedented frequency. A group of outcasts try to make a home in the lone house among the towering cityscape, but its past cannot be contained.

You play as Haze, who wakes with no memory of who or where they are. Their only clues are a memory card bearing their name and a vision of a haunting color. To piece together Haze’s fractured memory, you explore the house and the memories stored on cards belonging to three characters: an underground cultist, an ambitious philanthropist and a drifter. Something watches from deep within those memories, and Haze must face parts of the past that are difficult to confront.

Explore the house

You investigate hidden corridors and uncover the sordid history of a house seemingly out of time and place. Interactable screens let you enter Haze’s perspective and explore tableaus, where you can pull levers, activate altars and search for hidden objects.

Navigate memories

A cybernetic memory card system lets you travel through time, experience other people’s stored memories and reach new parts of the house. Digital ghosts from the past can possess Haze, helping you unscramble memories, solve puzzles and see through their perspectives.

Art and soundtrack

The pixel art draws on limited color palettes and cyberpunk works such as Akira, Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell. The experimental original soundtrack takes influence from classic horror and cyberpunk films.
