Games Like We Pretend

We Pretend is a PS1-styled psychological horror game set in the fog choked coastal town of Zaoyamada Riku, a place shaped by old tradition, powerful families, and folklore that refuses to stay buried. 

The Story of ‘We Pretend’

You play as Minufuri, a second-year student who arrives at a place between realities: the Shrouded Shack, a waystation for lost souls where an enigmatic Observer watches and offers doors made from memories you’ve pretened to forget. Each door leads into a distorted “memory” you must survive and relive.

Behind the static and low-poly corridors is something far more personal: a story of isolation, abuse, and the weight of silence, told through shifting environments, symbolic items, and emotions that become real enough to hurt you.
