ABOUT

  • This murder case is no ordinary murder case, and something more sinister than greed had befallen those missing people. Whatever they found in the abandoned town, it was not gold. Something evil lurks in the valley. Can you uncover the truth of what happened despite the challenges of the hostile environment? You need to. Your life—and unlife—depends on it.

  • Whatever horrors await you aren’t so kind as to allow you to investigate in peace. Endure not only the dangers of the blizzard keeping you trapped, but also disturbing paranormal activity that will slowly but surely drive you insane. Be sure to manage the characters’ resources and sanity well, or you may see friend turn to foe.

  • It’s dangerous to go alone! Take three characters in each active party when you leave safety, with a total of three possible parties at a time. With nine scripted player character options, you can play solo or with up to eight other people. But be careful—should one of the characters die, that extra body will come back to haunt you.

  • Each character has unique strengths and weaknesses, and experience paranormal activity differently. The choice of which ones to use and when creates limitless options for strategizing. Make sure to build bonds between them; their relationships with each other dictate how they behave towards each other both in and out of combat.

  • Evidence can be items, witnesses, or observation. Stay vigilant—some is easy to miss. All evidence must make it back to the manor to count. If a character dies, any evidence they collected is lost unless it’s scavenged off their body. Eyewitness testimony dies with them. Your ability to solve the case depends on the percentage of evidence you’ve found.

 FAQs

  • IF is a survival horror game for 1–9 players. You can play with friends or strangers online. The multiplayer aspect includes both co-op and PVP. It includes elements from mystery and detective games with its focus on investigation.

  • The narrative derives from one of the first novels Z319’s CEO began writing when he was in college. He has always been a fan of the Silent Hill series and wanted to pay homage to his love for what he considers to be the gold standard of horror games, but with his own personal twist on it—setting the story in the 1940s American West. The abandoned gold-mining boomtown in this game was inspired by a melange of places he has visited, as well as some locations where Ghost Adventures has filmed before.

  • For now, the only platform IF is being developed for is PC. It will be available through Steam and Epic Games Store.

    The game is currently in pre-production with the concept, story, and mechanics essentially built out. It is ready-to-code. The release date is yet to be decided.
