The 9th Charnel

The 9th Charnel is a first-person psychological survival horror game set in a not-so-future world where people have lost faith in human progress, selfishness is common and governments are corrupt. You play as Michael J. Jones, one of six characters, and must survive deadly threats while uncovering the world’s mysteries and the stories behind its characters.

Story

Michael and his colleagues Nadia and Daniel J. Hart are genetic scientists at The Epsilon Research Institute. During a research trip to a nearby wildlife sanctuary, an inconceivable incident sends their car rolling into a deep valley. Stranded there, Michael must find his friends and survive a series of life-threatening events that suggest the place has a history of evil activities. The game follows the fate of the three friends through to the end. Each of the six characters has a backstory and motivations of their own.

Survive the valley

You usually face seemingly impossible threats through stealth and careful navigation. As the dangers become more complex, you uncover new stories and receive new weapons. You can also use weapons in combat, gather resources and manage supplies through an inventory system.

Puzzles and other challenges test your survival skills and ability to think quickly. The game’s focus on story accompanies its survival mechanics, with an atmosphere of terror and suspense supported by its soundtrack and graphics.
