About This Game



A madness for spiritualism has gripped London in 1907. Séances and theatrical shows where spirits make contact with their living families are all the rage, and there are a legion of investigators trying to discover the secrets of the supernatural. Among them, Professor Patrick Moore stands at the forefront, and he is now at a crossroads ‒ he's got 72 hours to prove the existence of the Great Beyond or else his Metapsychic Investigations Department will shut down forever.

Racing against the clock, with the help of a fake medium named Beatrice Shaw, he must complete a prototype of the Box of Revelations, an artefact devised by his missing mentor that enables seeing dimensions hidden in our reality. Building this device will take him from the foggy streets of London to the steep shores of Scotland, and finally to 34 Benwell Street, known as the most haunted manor of England.



  • Point & click adventure gameplay based on inventory puzzles.

  • More than 60 detailed pixel art backgrounds to explore.

  • A cast of more than 70 characters to interact with, including real figures from the period, such as the medium Florence Cook, physicist William Crookes, illusionist Harry Houdini, and even writer Arthur Conan Doyle, whom you will control to solve one of the game's mysteries.

  • Take a breather from history by reading horror stories at Falk's Horror Books, perusing an archive of supernatural cases, or going to the theater to watch the last film sensation by Georges Méliès: Évocation Spirite.

  • Inspired by the works of the greatest horror authors from the beginning of the 20th century, M.R. James, Algernon Blackwood, and Arthur Machen.

  • From the creator of award-winning Nightmare Frames and Urban Witch Story.

Excellent game. I enjoyed the wonderful pixel art and use of (mostly) period appropriate music, along with the stunning original music. The story started with themes I enjoy very much, 1900s London ghost hunting, seances and mediums, references to classic horror literature. All yummy stuff. Then gets more and more wild and pulpy, and I loved it. At no point was I stuck on what to do, maybe the puzzles were simple, but it kept the pace up. Recommend.

WOW. This was a stunningly crafted period piece point and click. I'm blown away by the dialogue, the characters, art, and flawless 1900's vibe. Shocking moments that actually deliver on the promise of horror. This near-solo dev is a quiet master of the 'classic' feeling I CRAVE from this genre. Loved this one, start to finish!

Finished this game in 6h. Great, engaging story. An absolute gem! My hats off to the dev. I first played Nightmare Frames, also a terrific game. One thing though, the puzzles were a bit too easy in both games. Looking forward to their next game!

Great indie point & click adventure set in the first decade of the 20th century. Clever use of cliches, interesting riddles and characters, nice pacing and writing. The dialogue can be a but long-winded in places, but overall it's a great traditional adventure game.

Impeccable vibes and a really beautiful soundtrack. A handful of typos which are a shame as they break the immersion a little but it's wonderfully written and translated. A real gem.
