Our take on EBONY
Instead of using a broad adventure structure, the game confines its story to one haunted mansion and places paranormal effects, atmosphere, and player noise at the center of the experience.
What is EBONY?
EBONY is a first-person psychological horror game set during a night in an old Victorian mansion.
Adam travels to Transylvania after inheriting the house from his grandmother, who raised him before he left to study abroad. The mansion contains paranormal dangers as he explores its dark interior. An AI system can open doors and react to noise made by the player. The game uses lighting, audio, visual effects, shaders, and motion-capture animations to create its horror atmosphere. Its story follows Adam’s attempt to survive the night in the mysterious house.
