Our take on Prognostic
The store presentation foregrounds rituals, atmosphere, and supernatural danger, while giving less space to the practical shape of play: recurring investigations into crimes, missing people, and motives. The core activity appears to be casework supported by divination, rather than uninterrupted horror or action.
What is Prognostic?
Prognostic is a first-person detective horror game about an orphan returning to his deceased grandmother’s house after the unexplained death of his family.
The player takes on the role of a young man who studies divination and attempts to become a prognostic while supernatural forces threaten him and the surrounding town. Each night brings a new case involving crimes, missing people, killers, and hidden motives. Investigations combine logical deduction with supernatural abilities and readings of local residents’ fates. Rituals draw on historical practices associated with Western Europe and Scandinavia. Exploring the large house reveals additional rooms, family secrets, and new forms of divination.
