This is a psychological horror game about an elderly man around the age of 84. He's been to wars and survived, seen many of his friends and family pass away. His wife passed long before him and his children and grandchildren never visit. He is incredibly lonely and lives inside a two story country villa out in the suburbs. The nearest house is 1 KM away so your are accompanied but no one will be able to hear your cries for help. You are aching and sore, your joints don't work no more and no one cares about you. You sit in your living room, tending to a fire that lights your lounge and essentially your soul so you're willing to put in every bit of effort to keep this fire going. The last thing your children had done for you was create a pit of firewood that would last years. You have the fuel for the fire but can you keep it alive? When the flame flickers as it dwindles you hear the whispers of the dead creeping up on you. The smaller the flame gets, the louder the voices become. Your job is to keep your lifeline alive to keep away the shadows, to evade death and his invading thoughts. As a brittle old man you cannot achieve much on your own. You must hobble around your house to keep yourself full of energy, hydrated and you must be able to clean yourself regularly to keep your hygiene up or risk infection. You cannot leave your home and you have no means of contacting anyone. The souls have bound you to your house and if you leave or attempt to do so you will die/be seriously injured. Once every 2 weeks a caretaker comes in to restock your house for food, water and to check whether or not you're dead. She's supposed to come every week but she hasn't done that for about a year now. Every noise you hear you must take into consideration, is your fire burning hot enough to keep the spirits away? Or is it too hot and are you risking your house being set on fire. Your job is to manage this mans life, you are to keep him well so he dies at peace rather than being taken by the spirits that wonder the dark.


This game is made for the Occulus Rift and will have a surround sound headset to go with this for full personal immersion. There will be no jump scares, only diegetic ambiance to create suspense for the player and to have the most realistic experience as possible. You are to play through the eyes of an elderly man, you cannot move fast, you are beginning to see and hear things that are not real and you must ignore them to your best ability to carry on with your daily tasks of looking after yourself. Keep the flame alive, no matter what.
