Welcome to your happy place.
'ROOST' is a brief first-person horror game, set in the English town of Mournbrough - a place harbouring dark secrets and seemingly lost to time.
The Player assumes the role of Declan Harker; a down-on-his-luck paranormal investigator who has been drawn to a haunting mystery where their quest for answers quickly spirals into a personal nightmare.
A haunting mystery. A personal nightmare. Overcome your fears. Uncover the truth.
Heavily inspired by P.T., Paratopic,  Silent Hill , Se7en, Lost Highway and the work of Kyoshi Kurosawa.
| 'CRUEL BRITANNIA' |
The games visual direction borrows heavily from PSX era, but channeled through a bleak vision of the forgotten realm of northern England.
| IT'S GRIM UP NORTH |
A regional tale, set in the North-East of England. Inspired by the stories, perceptions and tales of the area. Welcome to Mournbrough.
| ATMOSPHERIC WORLD AND SOUND DESIGN |
The town has many sights to see, and plenty of things you don't want to hear. Every nook and cranny has a story to tell.
| MAKE CONVERSATION |
People make the world go round. Get to know them or keep your distance. Never judge a book by it's cover.
| A JOURNEY LIKE NO OTHER |
Getting to the town is just the start. What happens next is a mystery.
