Play it if you…

Saves you a refund- Players seeking expansive worlds, branching stories, or extensive exploration may find the two-level linear structure limited.

- Players who avoid graphic creatures, mutated remains, or jump scares may not enjoy the horror presentation.
Our take on GORE
Progression is tied to investigation: examining the environment, finding notes, and triggering dialogue events opens new areas within the linear story.
What is GORE?
GORE is a Lovecraft-inspired psychological horror game set in a decaying wilderness modeled on the Rocky Mountains.
Players explore mountains, caves, and laboratories while carrying a flashlight and handheld camera. The story follows an incomprehensible fleshy entity spreading through the environment and unfolds through inner dialogue, scattered notes, and triggered dialogue events. Exploration opens new areas and advances a linear narrative built around tension, fear of the unknown, twists, and occasional jump scares. The experience uses VHS-like visual processing, realistic movement, custom mountain landscapes, an original soundtrack, and mutated entities. It contains two levels and lets players toggle the flashlight when navigating dark areas.
