Lost Hearts description

Lost Hearts

A horror game inspired by M.R. James, the master of the English ghost story. You will explore the manor and gardens of Aswarby Hall to uncover your family’s secret history. The core mechanic is to re-live each ghost’s last day on earth, guiding your choices to shape their endings. With several endings for every story, your decisions determine the fate of your ancestors. Lift the Abney family curse and save yourself—if you can endure what you uncover.

Navigate through a richly atmospheric world that blends old‑world mystery with tense psychic unease. The journey unfolds across the house and its sprawling grounds, traversing multiple time periods as you piece together a history several generations in the making. Each path reveals new truths, new moods, and new ways the curse can unfold.
