The Attic

The Attic is a visual novel and walking-simulator-style game with multiple endings. You live alone in an old house, where a knock leads you into the attic. There, you find a small blue marble on the windowsill and must decide how to respond to the strange events around it.

The attic

The attic is quiet except for creaking floorboards. A circle has been carved into the windowsill, with a clean blue glass marble in its middle. You investigate the origins of the little treasures left there and question whether you are alone in the house.

Your choices

The story’s outcome depends on how you interpret the marble and what you do next: you might find the situation whimsical, see it as threatening, give in to obsessive paranoia or befriend some kind of creature. The game draws on classical horror stories about old haunted houses, basements and attics, and on the author’s experience with OCD-like symptoms and intrusive thoughts.
