Each one presenting new challenges, events and characters.. all woven into this tragic twisted tale. Uncover secrets and defeat demons Track the lost family with your team. Complete challenges to access new areas, items and characters. Build an arsenal of relics and rites to summon and banish ancient horrors. Withstand earthquakes, abhorrent incursions and face your innermost fears. Delve into lore and mystery If your desire for hidden knowledge runs deep you can collect and peruse an extensive library of notes and letters. Revealing the dark history of Highrook, a gothic world inspired by HP Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe and Bram Stoker. Is it for me? The Horror at Highrook is an unusual game with some unique mechanics. There is a wealth of story, character and challenge hidden in the halls. There is a lot of text in the game and no voice acting (I couldn't afford it!) and that might put some people off, I understand. However, If you enjoy evocative writing, unpacking mysteries, and are wiling to experiment with a different type of game, then I think you will enjoy the journey! Check out the fully narrated gameplay trailer above to see how the game systems look in action.
