What to expect

Prepared to face the dark? On opening night of the village's new occult exhibit, an ancient curse breaks loose. Armed with only a map and lantern, test your courage across the shadowy pathways of a historic village.

A chilling sequel

While this is a standalone sequel that can be enjoyed without any prior story knowledge, it continues the chilling 1800s tale of Where Dark Things Dwell.

Live actors

Our live actors transform the village into a living story, immersing you in every twist, clue, and encounter.

Two puzzle paths

The adventure doesn't end after one playthrough. Experience the story again on a completely different puzzle path as you work to banish the curse once and for all.

Exclusive access

As night falls, the village comes alive. Venture through its historic streets after hours and face an ancient curse reborn from the shadows.
