Silverpine Creek

Silverpine Creek is a horror adventure in which you play a reporter investigating disappearances in an abandoned village. You wake near your car on the outskirts of the village, which lies in a valley surrounded by mountains and a rushing river. Dense fog traps you there, and you have six days to complete a ritual and escape.

The village and its curse

Silverpine Creek has been abandoned for decades and shunned by nearby communities. Local stories tell of Korana, accused of witchcraft and sentenced to burn. The ritual went wrong, Korana vanished without a trace, and she is now said to haunt the village as a vengeful spirit responsible for recent disappearances.

Korana tries to stop you with frightening hallucinations and direct confrontations. Cursed signs can trigger hallucinations that reveal your location to her. You must hide, but obvious hiding places may not fool her.

Search for a way out

Explore the village, solve puzzles and riddles, complete hidden tasks, and collect six ritual items. Take each item to the burning place on Witch Hill; collecting all six initiates the final ceremony, which may offer a way out. The journey is dangerous: objects react to disturbances, and bumping into furniture or making noise can attract Korana. The physics-based environment makes even slight disturbances a potential risk, so you must watch your steps and use the surroundings to your advantage.

Atmosphere and sound

The game combines realistic graphics with a VHS found-footage aesthetic. Binaural audio adds to the atmosphere, while Korana's supernatural traps and the village's hazards make stealth and careful movement important.
