Haunting, photographic mystery CORPOREAL announced for PC

Piece together a cursed family album in this chilling, tactile narrative-puzzler

Auckland, New Zealand - 23 October 2024 - Cold Out Interactive is today thrilled to officially announce its debut title CORPOREAL - a narratively-driven, paranormal-mystery puzzle game - is now in development for PC and available to wishlist now via Steam.

Set in New Zealand during the late 1990s, CORPOREAL is a haunting, photographic puzzle game which sees players piece together a cursed photo-album as they unravel the mystery of the unexplained events that left them as the sole surviving member of their family tree.

Players will search for answers in an archive of photographs rescued from the ruins of their childhood home; only by using the album to manipulate the past will they be able to chart their ill-fated family history - encountering a number of tragic, doomed spectres in the process.

CORPOREAL will envelop players in a dark and enigmatic narrative with its tactile analog-inspired puzzles and interactions, while naturalistic live-action photography brings a stunning degree of documentarian verisimilitude to the chillingly atmospheric presentation.
