Description from IGDB IGDB

Cosmic Horror Tales is a pixel art top-down action RPG that follows a young farmer searching for his missing chicken, Petunia. What begins as a simple errand soon turns into a descent into a nightmarish village where reality unravels, and forgotten gods whisper from the shadows. Explore hand-crafted environments, solve light environmental puzzles, and fight to retain your sanity as you face grotesque creatures and surreal encounters. With a strong narrative focus and atmospheric world-building, the game offers a compact but impactful experience lasting around 1-2 hours for its first act.

Storyline IGDB

Henry is a young farmer who grew up in the countryside with his grandparents. When his parents moved him to the city in search of a better life, he never truly adapted. His only comfort was Petunia, a small chick gifted by his grandparents—who quickly became part of the family. Years later, Henry returns to the rural village of Arcton, longing for a simpler life. But one night, Petunia mysteriously disappears. What begins as a quiet search soon descends into a nightmare, as Henry finds himself wandering through twisted woods, forgotten paths, and a village that no longer feels like home. Something ancient has awakened in Arcton. The stars no longer shine the same. The townsfolk speak in riddles, their faces hollow. Shadows move on their own, and strange doors lead to impossible places. Driven by love for his companion, Henry must venture deeper into the unknown, facing entities beyond reason—grotesque, mind-breaking beings that should not exist. But in Arcton, nothing is what it seems… and finding Petunia might be the least of his worries.
