Epitaphoria
A downloadable game
EPITAPHORIA
For some time now, horrifying events have been taking place in the town of Herehola.
What happens during the nights remains a mystery.
Only when the next day dawns do families find their children brutally murdered in their own beds.
There are no traces of the perpetrator — the doors and windows were locked.
Who... or what is responsible for this?
WELCOME
Hi vampires! My brother and I started creating our first game so we can't wait to show you the result of our work...
STORY
You play as a young boy living with his father in the uneasy town of Herehola. You’ve heard about the tragedies that have been happening to children at night — murders shrouded in mystery.
As you fall asleep in your bed, you hear unsettling whispers… a voice that feels like torture itself — and suddenly… you wake up in another place — a house filled with cruelty.
He brought you here — Mr. Stern.
That thing wants to pretend he’s your father, so you’d better watch what you say to him… and be good.
There are other children in this house too — terrified and lost.
Can you escape this madness?
FEATURES
- Moral choices that shape your fate
- Explore, collect, and solve puzzles
- Unique characters — both innocent and horrifying — each hiding their own secret.
- A story-driven psychological horror seen through the eyes of a child.
- Hand-drawn, gothic-style environments filled with atmosphere and mystery.
INSPIRATIONS
We draw most of our inspiration from games like Silent Hill, Fran Bow, and Fear and Hunger. We love worlds filled with mysteries that hide among disgusting, vile, and repulsive things.
Our goal is to create a world the player wants to explore, understand, and uncover —
not because the game tells them to, but because their own curiosity drives them deeper.

Awesome. I’ve made a similar game myself. I’m really glad to see more games with this kind of story coming out. When do you think the game will be released?
Thank you, that’s really kind of you! I checked out your game too — I absolutely love its atmosphere!
It’s hard to say how long the development will take. We’re making the game in Unity, and we ran into a few obstacles along the way, but after getting the Adventure Creator plugin, things have become much smoother. So hopefully, we’ll be able to finish it within a few months! :)
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it. I wish you the best of luck I’m really looking forward to playing your game!
