Us Five Forever — Episode 1

Us Five Forever is the first episode of a narrative mystery game that follows a group of former friends who share a strange connection with each other. On Halloween, Olivia Herrera visits a rowdy party at the DIE frat in a converted mansion—the very place where her best friend disappeared two years ago. Armed with a half-baked costume, a trusty camera, and a lingering sense that the house guards more than secrets, she must navigate a tense reunion and confront the ties that bind.

As the night unfolds, Olivia and her former friends must set aside old tensions to uncover the truth hidden within the Durand mansion. The party becomes a gateway to a multigenerational mystery filled with arcane secrets and echoes of the past. Will you mend broken connections and work together to reveal what really happened, or will the mysterious forces at the mansion pull you deeper into the enigma before the sun rises?
