Our take on Exiled
Players seeking a long-form mystery may bounce off when the approximately 45-minute session ends. Those who want an investigation without threats may hit a wall when lurking horrors become part of the puzzle-solving sequence around the desk.
What is Exiled?
Charlotte has disappeared, leaving behind a note about an ancient evil and banishment to another realm.
An eldritch tome and an untranslated scrap provide clues to her whereabouts. Players inspect objects, use information from the book to decode an ancient language, evade lurking horrors, and investigate the mystery of the Great Library. The game takes place around a single desk, where interactive objects support the investigation and puzzle solving. Its library setting uses stillness and sudden danger to create a tense atmosphere. This compact puzzle thriller is intended for one play session and lasts approximately 45 minutes. Voiceover is provided by Tom Schalk. The original version appeared in Dread X Collection 2.
