KARJALA

Remember how it felt when you first got your hands on a parent's videotape — the 4:3 aspect ratio, the static on the screen, and the sense that something truly fascinating lay ahead. But this is a different story: a twisted experiment sends a hapless soldier into the Backrooms, where he must make his way through several levels, encounter dangerous entities, and try to find a way back. Explore, hide, and listen to every suspicious sound — especially footsteps... Above all, survive. KARJALA is an indie horror game set in the world of the Karelian anomaly. The game is based on the short story "Karelian Anomaly" by Denis Gromwell, steeped in the atmosphere of Karelian forests and Soviet aesthetics. In KARJALA, you'll be immersed in a tense and terrifying atmosphere with a strong focus on exploration, puzzle-solving, and survival. The game will keep you on edge from start to finish as you try to find a way out of this dark and supernatural place.
