Games Like The Indirect Castle Retreat

Inspired by classic late-90s exploration games with lo-fi horror atmosphere.

You came to photograph a castle. Now you need to escape it alive.

Knocked unconscious and trapped inside an ancient fortress after dark, you realize you're not alone. Something here doesn't want you to leave. Your only hope: piece together the castle's dark history and find a way out before the spirits claim another victim.

Survive. Solve. Escape

Uncluttered & atmospheric

This is a tight, hand-crafted mystery where every detail matters. Horror lives in the silence between clues and the shadows you can't quite see into. For fans of tense exploration and environmental storytelling.

What to expect

This is a solo dev project focused on exploration and mystery-solving. Think careful pacing, minimalist PS1-era aesthetic, and atmosphere over spectacle - not AAA production values. If you're looking for a 90s-style horror exploration game made with passion, you're in the right place.
