Trapped by a cataclysmic storm, five college girls retreat to the remote Raven’s Peak Lodge—only to find shelter isn’t sanctuary. As the resort’s caretaker, you must shield them from torrential chaos, fractured trust, and a prowler whose footsteps echo in the blizzard-ravaged woods. Every choice tests your resolve in this psychological horror-thriller where survival hinges on strategy, intuition, and confronting the darkness within.
Atmospheric Terror & Immersive Survival
1. Dynamic Environmental Hazards: The storm isn’t just backdrop—it’s an active antagonist. Manage generator fuel to power lights that deter intruders, patch shattered windows against gale-force winds, and navigate blackouts where flashlight beams may reveal silhouettes lurking outside. Let the blizzard’s wrath erode both the lodge’s defenses and the group’s sanity.
2. Procedural Threat System: The prowler’s behavior adapts to your actions. Board up a window? He tests weaker entry points. Distract girls with arguments? He stalks closer. Security camera feeds offer fragmented clues, but static interference and false alarms keep tension razor-wire tight.
3. Sound as a Weapon: Use the lodge’s creaking pipes and howling winds to mask movement—or listen for telltale footprints in fresh snow. Voice recognition forces whispered dialogue during hideouts, where a single cough could betray your position.
Fractured Bonds & Psychological Warfare
1. Personality-Driven Conflicts: Each girl harbors secrets that fuel paranoia. The skeptic dismisses threats until evidence mounts; the empath senses the prowler’s rage but internalizes panic. Your interventions—calming tears or silencing hysteria—dictate whether alliances strengthen or shatter.
2. Trust-Fear Metre: Balance compassion against authority. Over-pacify the group, and they ignore genuine danger; rule through intimidation, and rebellions erupt. Your metre’s equilibrium unlocks unique survival paths—e.g., rallying them to set traps with you versus barricading alone.
3. Moral Triage: Distribute scarce resources under duress: Give antibiotics to a wounded girl, or sedatives to the one unraveling? Such choices ripple into endings where survivors may abandon you—or worse, side with the enemy.
Strategic Resource Management & Replayability
1. Modular Defense Crafting: Scavenge metal scraps, chemicals, and lodge artifacts to build tools. Create noisemakers to misdirect the prowler, electrified doorknobs for area denial, or pheromone sprays to lure him into blizzard exposure—but every craft risks attracting attention.
2. Nonlinear Prowler Encounters: His identity (ex-military stalker? Supernatural entity?) emerges through optional clues. Discover newspaper clippings of past disappearances, or find his journal scrawled with weather-altering obsessions—each revelation rewrites finale confrontations.
3. Collapsing Timelines: Events unfold across 72 in-game hours, with critical decisions locking routes early. Save a girl from an attic fall? She later spots the prowler’s hideout. Ignore her cries? Her body becomes his grim “calling card” at the lodge entrance. Six divergent endings blend survival counts, psychological states, and hidden truths.
