BACKUP_71
Point-and-Click Horror • Desktop Simulator • Mystery Investigation
A psychological horror investigation game where you return to your family’s old house after your father’s suicide.
Playing as Victor Gottlieb, you must care for your elderly mother while uncovering secrets hidden inside forgotten rooms, corrupted archives and a mysterious computer containing a consciousness created during a classified Soviet experiment.
Manage limited resources, survive an ever-growing fungal infection and uncover the truth before the house consumes everyone still living inside it.
Diegetic
Investigation
Search through documents, folders, notes and computer systems as if you were truly investigating the house yourself.
Atmospheric Psychological Horror
A slow-burning and oppressive experience focused on tension, paranoia and emotional discomfort rather than cheap scares.
Desktop Simulator Integration
Navigate real-time operating systems, corrupted files and hidden programs to progress through the narrative and uncover buried truths.
Narrative-Driven Exploration
Every room, object and interaction reveals fragments of Victor’s family history and the mysterious experiment connected to the house.
