Our take on 1166
Its defining structure is a mystery split across multiple endings, with each conclusion revealing another portion of the story.
What is 1166?
This psychological horror adventure follows six people in Salem, Massachusetts after one of them is kidnapped.
Players investigate the resulting mystery while confronting depression, pain, and grotesque monsters. Choices affect whether the protagonist uses a more passive approach or attacks enemies, with combat requiring cautious movement. The story features characters with distinct personalities and agendas, and its multiple endings reveal different parts of the overall narrative. Pixel-art visuals, keyboard and mouse controls, a straightforward interface, and an original soundtrack shape the presentation. The game includes strong adult themes and occasional pixel nudity. It is available on PC, Mac, and Linux.
