More about this game
In this narrative adventure, you guide Elena as she returns to the foggy village of Valdeniebla ten years after Daniel's disappearance. During the day, you investigate abandoned locations like the church and Daniel's house to gather clues and uncover hidden letters. At night, a dark shadow stalks you on the hill. You must manage your lantern's oil to push the shadow back and maintain your calm meter. If your calm drops to zero, you pass out. Your discoveries and dialogue choices ultimately lead to one of five distinct endings.
Tips
- The lantern drains oil quickly. Only hold the button when the shadow gets close, then release it to let your oil recharge back to 100.
- When you reach the church bell on the second day, ring it exactly thirteen times to reveal a hidden document and the final love letter.
- If the shadow gets within 150 pixels, your calm meter drains. Keep it pushed back, because reaching zero calm forces you to restart the night.
FAQ
- How do I get the secret ending?
- You must find all five of Daniel's hidden love letters scattered across the village and the hill. Once you have them all, choose to read them aloud to the tree during the final scene.
- What happens if the shadow catches me?
- If the shadow gets too close without your lantern shining, your calm meter drops. If it hits zero, you pass out, lose your night progress, and wake up back in the village the next day.
- Why does the lantern turn off by itself?
- The lantern has a limited oil supply that drains while active. If it reaches zero, the light dies automatically. You must release the button to let the oil slowly refill before using it again.
