Our take on SAMARA

Instead of making combat the main structure, this horror game centers its progression on exploring a secluded estate, solving puzzles, and returning to a disturbing doll. Its mystery-driven format builds toward revelations about the uncle’s disappearance and the player’s mind.

What is SAMARA?

SAMARA is a single-player, first-person psychological survival horror game about investigating an uncle who has been missing for more than a year.

The player visits his secluded estate and explores its dimly lit halls and forgotten corners, where an unsettling doll becomes a source of dread. The game combines exploration, intricate puzzle-solving, psychological suspense, and a chasing sequence. As the night continues, the player is drawn back to the doll and faces revelations about its nature, the uncle’s disappearance, and the player’s own mind. Atmospheric environments, realistic graphics, and sound effects support the game’s horror setting. SAMARA was made in Unreal Engine.
