Our take on SHE WAS 98
The game moves horror away from isolated monsters or unfamiliar locations and places it inside a caregiving routine. Pills, quiet evenings, and an elderly relative become sources of suspicion, replacing a standard action structure with domestic unease and uncertainty.
What is SHE WAS 98?
This first-person psychological horror game follows a grandson who returns to care for his nearly century-old grandmother in her deteriorating apartment.
His routine includes giving her pills by the hour and spending quiet evenings together, but her behavior becomes increasingly unsettling. She sometimes appears not to recognize him, or seems to see someone else in his place. At night, footsteps sound behind the wall, raising questions about who—or what—is nearby. The story explores fear, self-interest, and payback as the distinction between victim and hunter becomes unclear. The game is presented as a walking simulator with a deep story, high-quality sounds, realistic graphics, and a tense atmosphere.
