Our take on Kidnapped

Instead of keeping its setting fixed, the game changes its landscape and direction as progress unfolds. It also places the player in the hunted role, combining exploration and item-based puzzles with combat rather than treating horror as a sequence of fights.

What is Kidnapped?

Kidnapped is a psychological horror adventure about Sebastian Lee, who vanished from Stirling, Scotland, in the winter of 1992.

Players investigate his captivity across a manor, caves, a forest, and other locations. The game combines exploration, puzzle solving, and combat, with objects that can be examined, used, or collected. Its world changes as progress is made, altering the landscape and direction of play. Wildlife and strange creatures can appear as enemies, placing the player in the hunted role. Collected items support survival and progression, while weapons can be found for combat. The story draws on real-life stories connected with myth and legend. Audio and environmental presentation contribute to its psychological horror setting.
