Our take on Nowhere Near
Players who need clear combat tools may bounce off at the moment they enter the hospital with only a camera and flashlight. The experience instead places the emphasis on dark exploration, paranormal evidence, and surviving the location.
What is Nowhere Near?
Nowhere Near is a horror adventure set in the abandoned Lagarde psychiatric hospital in France.
The story takes place nearly two centuries after the hospital closed following reports of brutal treatment, strange voices, and mysterious figures. The player controls a skeptical video blogger who enters the building to investigate its paranormal rumors. Equipped with only a camera and flashlight, the character explores dark corridors and empty rooms while searching for evidence.
