Tainted ground
A cooperative horror mystery for 1-4 players where every run hides a different ritual to uncover. Explore a tainted forest by day, decode its secrets, survive the night through deduction, and escape by understanding what the forest demands.
The forest won't forgive. The night will consume you. The only way out is to understand how.
A ritual lies hidden within the forest. The conditions needed to perform it change every run. To escape, your team must investigate, interpret the clues, and uncover the truth before the forest claims you.
Explore by day
Daylight is your only ally, and it won't last long.
Split up across the forest and investigate its key locations: abandoned ruins, forgotten graves, and some others. Search for clues scattered across the world in ways you won't expect.
Every discovery is recorded in a shared diary. Every clue matters. What seems insignificant could be the missing piece that changes everything.
Survive by night
When the sun sets, return to the cabin.
It is the last refuge left in the forest, but safety is never guaranteed. Paranormal events manifest throughout the night, testing everything you've learned during the day.
Identify the threat. Find the correct countermeasure. Act before the cabin pays the price.
At the same time, you'll need to keep the generator running, manage the electrical system, and prevent darkness from taking over. Surviving the night requires knowledge, coordination, and calm under pressure.
Uncover the ritual
There is a way to purify the forest.
Each session generates a unique ritual built from shifting variables. Success depends on observation, deduction, and communication, not combat, upgrades, or equipment.
The answers exist within the world. Finding them is up to you.
Shared horror
Co-op Multiplayer (up to 4 players): cooperation is at the heart of every investigation.
Split up to cover more ground, share discoveries, compare theories, and decide which clues matter before nightfall. Survival depends on what the group can figure out together.
