The Darkest Paths: Missing Files

The Darkest Paths: Missing Files is a single-player psychological horror game presented in a VHS style. You play as Michael Holster, a journalist returning to his old hometown of Ravens Hollow to investigate strange cases, hoping to gain fame, earn money from his articles and find closure.

Story

Ravens Hollow is a small city near a large forest, where people go missing, strange symbols appear and murders take place. Michael moved away when he was young and now investigates some of the town’s strangest cases. The game’s story takes place in the same universe as a book series but does not retell its stories; it follows a different place and story.

Horror and enemies

Atmosphere, audio and the setting build fear and anxiety. Creepy figures may watch from down a hallway and disappear when you look at them, while something may follow just out of sight. Enemies react to people entering their house without permission, though they also enjoy the entertainment this provides.
