Torn Veil

Torn Veil is a first-person psychological horror game about scientific ambition, moral decay and the consequences of trying to play god. You wake in a dense forest and are drawn to a mysterious twin house that feels familiar. Inside, a flickering television advertises a project that treats the soul as a resource and promises there is no turning back.

The house and the project

The house is a labyrinth of secrets. You explore its decaying rooms, solve puzzles and find clues about the experiments conducted there. These discoveries reveal the truth behind the Torn Veil project, a scientific attempt to harness the power of the human soul. Environmental details and cryptic notes also tell the tragic story of the scientists and their families.

The basement

Deeper in the basement, you encounter the remains of the experiments:

• The Crooked Soul: a malevolent being created by a failed soul transfer. It stalks the halls and feeds on the living.
• Weeping Angels: statues that come to life when you look away. You must keep your eyes on them to avoid a gruesome end.
• The Maze: a sprawling, ever-shifting labyrinth of traps, puzzles and echoes of lost souls.

You have only a shotgun and your wits as you try to survive the basement, confront the Crooked Soul and escape before your soul becomes the next experiment. Play moves between tense exploration, chases, brutal combat and puzzles, with enemies and events that blur the line between reality and nightmare.
