About:
If you enjoy psychological thrillers inspired by real, unsolved cases, this experience is built for you. Hinterkaifeck: The Farmhouse Murder is inspired by the infamous 1922 Hinterkaifeck murders, reimagined as a fictional “what-if” scenario. This is not a fast-paced action game. It is a slow, atmospheric survival experience driven by tension, limited resources, and the feeling of being watched.
Story:
You step into the role of a young maid arriving at a remote German farmhouse on the day the family is killed. In the real events, the maid never survived the night. In this game, you play the chance she never had. In this lifeless house, you are to survive and escape, but nothing is going your way. The entrance door is locked, the lights get tricky, and you have to search for what you need: a key, a flashlight, and anything that can help you stay alive. You try to hide in closets, then sneak when you can. The real case that inspired this game was never officially solved. This is not a detective simulator. The focus is the experience of the night itself, and what you choose to do when you feel trapped. Will you survive the night and make it out, or sneak and kill it?
