What The Walls Withheld

Description

Drops players into the eerie, abandoned DeJoie Estate, a mansion silent for three decades after the death of Francine DeJoie in 1953. The game leans into local legends, where a childhood dare to spend the night in the manor becomes a chilling test of courage. Now, a new protagonist steps into the foyer, only to find the door locked behind them and midnight bells tolling. The ticking clocks are just the start—subtle sounds and shifting shadows hint at unseen presences. Players navigate using WASD, interact with objects via E, sprint with Tab, and use Shift to check inventory. Auto-save triggers when items are collected, and a hint system eases frustration. With a 30–60 minute runtime, the experience balances tension and exploration. Currently free to play on Itch.io, the game will cost $2 weekly after release, pending bug fixes and feedback. As a solo developer, the creator values support through purchases or donations, aiming to deliver.
