From the Steam store

DWELL is a first-person psychological horror game about being stranded overnight in a remote mountain region where familiar spaces slowly turn strange, and every ordinary detail starts to feel wrong.

Dwell

Minh Thu, a 26-year-old young woman trying to escape the pressure of her life, drives deep into the mountains for a quiet break. When her car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, she’s forced to take shelter in a stranger’s house on the edge of a dark forest. As the night goes on and the atmosphere grows increasingly unsettling, she begins to suspect something out there is watching—and she might only survive if you make the right choices.

The Gameplay

This game is primarily a first-person narrative walking simulator focused on slow-burn tension, exploration, light environmental puzzles, and tense chase-and-hide sequences instead of combat.

Estimated playtime: ~1.5 hours (depending on exploration).
