Indie Horror Game from around 2022-2025
Hi, I’m looking for an indie first-person psychological story based horror game which doesn’t have much action, only chase sequences and puzzles, the only action is at the boss battle involving using a camera to weaken and stun the boss in order to reach the end point in the boss battle room. The boss is this gross amalgamation of human parts with a second mouth at the stomach of the creature. I remember Gab Smolders playing it and I tried finding it, but I’ve had no luck considering it’s been a few years since I saw the video. I know she played it after Elden Ring. I don’t know if it was deleted because it used gen AI or not.
The story is-from what I remember- this eastern European scientist discovered this black sludge which contains some sort of powers (kinda like the game Control) and he and come other coworkers use it for this company to gain control over the populace and power in government. They do this by using the machines they created that are able to deep dive into people’s memories in order to gain intel. But this can cause strain on the person who has their memories invaded or have their brains burst.
(You also go through the memories of people trying to fight back against the company and their cruelties because of their greed for power and money. If people found out about their secrets and experiments they killed them immediately.)
The scientist uses the sludge and experiments with his two twin children, a boy and girl with pale skin and white hair. The boy gets a small portion of powers and the sister is the stronger of the two, but their powers are linked together. Company finds out the scientist used their property without permission and now has super-powered kids so they send a special forces team to kill the parents and capture the kids to gain control over them.
Turns out the person you are playing is one of the employees connected to this whole system of cables going down into a cave system where the twin brother is held in a bathtub full of blood/red liquid and the cable connect into him so that the employees can scour his memories to find out how to wake up the sister who has the power.
The sister is locked in a clear cell upside down with a straight jacket in a coma/comatose/stasis mode(?) and is trying to help free her brother by connecting to his memories and find him in his memories as an old man by the beach with buildings made from sand crumbling because he has been fighting against the employees constantly invading his mind, but he’s about to break.
At the end you end the brother’s life in order to grant the sister full power so she can break out and escape captivity. She do so couldn’t before because her brother was still alive and had the small portion of powers. I think the game left the ending open in case there’s a sequel.
