The Lingering: Graveyard Visit

The Lingering: Graveyard Visit is an episodic, narrative-driven horror game with a walking-sim format and light puzzle elements. You play as Eki, an 11-year-old boy who visits his late father’s grave with his mother and explores a remote graveyard while uncovering the truth about a child-sacrifice ritual.

Story

At the graveyard, Eki meets Tomy, a local boy who knows about the village and its dark rumors. One rumor describes a wealth-seeking ritual said to involve sacrificing a child. Eki begins to suspect that the visit may be connected to the ritual, especially because his mother has struggled financially since his father’s death. The story leaves Eki to weigh whether he should trust his mother or Tomy.

The game is the second installment in The Lingering, an episodic atmospheric horror series inspired by true horror events and urban legends in Indonesia. Each episode tells the unsettling story of someone who crosses paths with the lingers, and the series draws its settings, myths and rituals from Indonesian folklore. The episodes are based on real submissions from the community.

Exploration and outcomes

You explore the graveyard and encounter light puzzles as you investigate what is happening. Your actions can lead to different outcomes across multiple endings, and the story includes a twist.

Visual style

The game uses retro PSX graphics as a nod to the retro gaming era.
