Our take on New Face On The Block
The defining structure is a roughly 1-hour first-person investigation in which hidden objects, residents, and simple tasks gradually reconstruct the apartment’s disturbing past.
What is New Face On The Block?
Set in 1992, this first-person psychological horror walking simulator follows a young woman who moves into a cheap apartment in a large city.
The apartment’s history emerges through objects left behind and conversations with local residents, while an unknown person enters the home. Players explore the apartment, neighborhood, and other locations, interact with hidden items, and complete simple story-based tasks to reconstruct events connected to a cult, rituals, and the dead. The game builds tension through atmosphere, an immersive soundtrack, suspense, and occasional jump scares, with its focus placed on psychological horror rather than frequent sudden shocks. The intended playthrough lasts approximately 1 hour.
