The 9th Charnel is a first-person psychological survival horror game. Filled with a rich and frightening atmosphere, this game aims at providing a haunting and desperate action-survival experience. While exploring the many mysteries of this world, you must survive- whether you do it through stealth or by using weapons.
Most of the time, the player has to survive impossible threats through stealth and clever navigation of the environment. As the player progresses through the game and threats grow significantly more complex, the player uncovers new stories and receives new weapons.
At its scariest, the game preys on the player’s anxiety, survival, and Exploration skills. It takes place in a not-so-future world, where people have lost faith in the prosperity of human development, people are selfish, and governments are corrupt.


Michael and his colleagues - Nadia and Daniel J. Hart- are genetic scientists at The Epsilon Research Institute. In one of their curriculum, they decide to conduct research at the nearest wildlife sanctuary. On their ill-fated journey, they encounter an inconceivable incident. As a result, their car rolls down the road into a deep valley-type area. Stuck in a valley, alone, Michael must find his friends and survive multiple dangerous life-threatening incidents that lead them to believe that the place has a history of evil activities. To see the fate of the three friends, play to the end.
Overall, The 9th Charnel is a horror game that combines intense atmosphere, strategic thinking, and a gripping story-line to create a truly unique gaming experience.
