Pitch
Have you ever, as a child, felt the unsettling sense of being watched? As if something unseen was drawing closer in the dark hallways of your home, leaving you with no option but to hide and hope it passes by. Every sound becomes critical as you strain to identify the presence stalking you.
This is the experience we seek to recreate in Where They Go.
Players must navigate a constantly shifting environment while escaping a relentless monster that pursues them. Unique gear items found in the world allow players to alter their surroundings, offering strategic advantages in their desperate bid to survive.
The gameplay draws inspiration from the immersive gear mechanics of BioShock, the intricate puzzles of Myst, and the intense horror of Amnesia and Alien Isolation, all woven together with the environmental storytelling reminiscent of Little Nightmares.
