Unsealed: The Mare
A challenging first-person psychological horror game where you play as Vera, trapped in a nightmare tied to her family’s tragic past. Burn the cursed teddies, restore lost memories, and break sealed doors to survive The Mare.
Unsealed: The Mare is a challenging psychological horror game blending tense gameplay with a dark, emotional story.
THE STORY
You play as Vera, caught between dreams and memories, you search for what should have been forgotten. As fragments of your family’s tragedy surface, they poison your mind and intertwine with your memories, distorting the dream into something increasingly horrific. In this nightmare, everything feels connected - bound by guilt, sorrow, and something far darker you cannot yet comprehend.
What begins as a search for answers slowly becomes a fight against a nightmare shaped by memory, loss, and something unsettlingly personal.
---------
The story and lore are discovered through environmental clues, notes, and memories, inviting players to piece together the truth themselves rather than follow a traditional narrative.
Estimated Playtime: 2-4h average
