About This Game

Papa is a short psychological horror game set in 1991, deep in an isolated forest home.

Years after escaping your childhood home with your sister, you receive news that your father has become seriously ill. Your sister is unable to face the past and refuses to return, but you decide to visit him one last time.

At first, everything seems normal. But the longer you stay in the house, the stranger it begins to feel. Old memories start to return, and it becomes harder to tell what is real and what is not.

Explore the decaying house, uncover the truth about your family's past, and face the memories that were left behind.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to keep a family together. The danger begins when the need for control becomes stronger than the ability to let go.
