In this first-person psychological horror game, a troubled child navigates daily life in a Wyoming family home amid the 2008 economic recession. Players handle chores, talk with parents, secure the front gate, and lock doors to manage mounting internal and external stresses. Tiny details in dialogue and environments reveal a gut-wrenching story of traumatic events.
The indie action adventure builds tension through routine tasks that distract from unfolding horrors like home invasions and sleep paralysis. It pieces together a narrative drawn from personal experiences, news, and unexplained incidents. Fans of atmospheric psychological horror drawn to subtle environmental storytelling will find it gripping.
TRAFFIC is a fictional story inspired by my own personal experiences, various news articles, statistics, and national incidents that remain unexplained.
