EXPLORE PINE CREEK & MANAGE RESOURCES

Explore the unsettling outskirts of Pine Creek. You must scavenge for resources to evade the terrifying extraterrestrial entities that stalk the neighborhood. When you finally catch your breath, your priority is to find the key items that are essential to progress.

SOLVE PUZZLES & OVERCOME CHALLENGES

The way forward is never easy. Overcome environmental obstacles and challenges by solving authentic 80s-inspired puzzles, reminiscent of classic survival horror titles. The rules of these puzzles shift every time you replay a chapter, thanks to procedurally generated elements. If you find yourself stuck, look around for hints like hidden documents or environmental clues.

STAY UNDETECTED & EVADE THE ENTITIES

Your goal is to avoid abduction. Stay quiet, stay hidden, and remain completely undetected by the alien entities that stalk Pine Creek. Getting caught is not an option: any physical contact means an instant, brutal abduction. Using distraction items is vital to gain an advantage and temporarily slow the entities down, allowing you to hide or flee.

On an autumn afternoon in 1986, you and your wife Sarah travel to a secluded, rural area within the Appalachian region of Pennsylvania, home to the small town of Pine Creek, where Sarah grew up.

As you approach your destination, a radio broadcast reports a series of mysterious disappearances spanning decades—hikers who vanished without a trace. Authorities blame the region’s dangerous cave systems and abandoned mines, as no evidence of foul play has ever been found.

As night falls, strange things begin to happen. Suddenly, Sarah’s brother arrives—visibly shaken—urging you to go with him because something strange has happened on his farm. When you return to your cabin, Sarah is gone.

Throughout the night, you search for your missing wife across the atmospheric outskirts of Pine Creek—from dark forests and abandoned facilities to forgotten mines beneath the mountains. Along the way, you encounter disturbing, inexplicable phenomena: strange lights in the sky and gray aliens who stalk and attempt to abduct you.

As you delve deeper, you meet different characters who may help or hinder your search for your missing wife, and as their secrets start to unravel, the truth behind the strange events is finally revealed... or so it seems.
