Storyline
You play as a young woman who has moved to a big city and found a surprisingly cheap apartment in one of the blocks on a housing estate. Although it’s quite far from your university and workplace, it offers excellent transport connections. However, the apartment has a story of its own - one you uncover through objects left behind and from local residents, whom you don’t always feel like interacting with but often can’t avoid.
Before long, you realize you’re not always alone in the apartment. Someone knows how to enter your home; perhaps someone who lived there before you.
Gameplay
New Face on the Block is a first-person horror walking simulator. Players will explore various locations, interact with the neighborhood’s residents, and uncover a compelling story that took place some time ago. The gameplay focuses on exploration, finding hidden items, and interacting with them to piece together the narrative. To progress, players will complete simple tasks that are integrated into the story.
The game emphasizes atmosphere, building tension and creating a sense of fear. While the game creates a tense atmosphere with immersive audio and occasional jump scares, it is primarily a psychological horror experience. It focuses on building suspense and anticipation rather than relying heavily on sudden scares.Â
The game is designed to be completed in approximately 1 hour.
