The Corruption Within

The Corruption Within is a first-person point-and-click adventure set in the Victorian era. After a camping holiday, your wife and two young children go missing. Unable to contact anyone, you head for the nearest source of civilization: a grand old mansion by a lake. As you search for your family, you become caught up in a larger mystery.

The mansion

The mansion’s residents include members of the aristocracy and the serving class: an elderly, eccentric Lord and Lady whose lineage stretches back centuries, kitchen and scullery maids from humble backgrounds, a butler with delusions of grandeur, and a nurse whose mind has snapped because of events before your arrival. They all have secrets, and some characters may help you while others mislead you.

Puzzles and exploration

You solve puzzles, uncover secrets and explore the mansion. Achievements call for cunning, resourcefulness and exploration, and the mansion includes two secret rooms.

Art and music

The game combines realism and surrealism to support the story’s atmosphere. Its detailed, low-resolution pixel art uses a custom-made colour palette, and it features an original music score.
