Our take on Face of Another
Rather than keeping technology in the background, the game makes a smartphone the central investigative tool. Photography, clue gathering, and puzzle solving all depend on that device, placing a digital interface at the center of its short psychological-horror structure.
What is Face of Another?
A strange being confines the player within a warped electronic nightmare, turning technology into a force that reshapes the environment.
A smartphone is the central means of investigating the world: players use it to photograph evidence, gather hints, work through puzzles, and endure unsettling encounters. Its narrative deals with harassment, online platforms, harmful comparison culture, and a hostile supernatural presence. The game features realistic visuals, seven collectible phone covers, and a typical session lasting 60–90 minutes. Bright flashes and certain images may pose problems for players sensitive to those effects.
