Perchta is a postmodern folk horror game that explores the cyclical nature of life, death, consciousness, and existence.
​
It is currently in pre-production! Read on to learn more about Perchta's concept, and don't forget to check out its fully animated concept trailer, "Augury."
Synopsis
Set in a world inspired by proto-Norse Teutonic pagan mythology, Perchta follows a stoic, aging warrior’s journey into a strange village called Andermeer, on the edge of a massive forest known as The Perchta.
She is led to the heart of the forest; however, when she reaches her destination, she is returned to her starting point on the shores of Andermeer. What follows is a cyclical march into the eldritch, wherein the environment distorts and deteriorates in horrific, bizarre, and uncomfortably personal ways...
The game will feature exploration-based point and click gameplay with an emphasis on atmosphere and worldbuilding, as well as turn-based combat against horrific and uncanny creatures. Perchta’s narrative is enigmatic, meticulously written, and crafted for fans of lore-heavy, esoteric storytelling.
