ERLIK: The Ninth Branch

Описание

Set in a forgotten corner of Anatolia, this psychological horror experience draws inspiration from Turkish mythology and folklore to tell a dark, unsettling story about blood, lineage, and buried truths.

You arrive at an abandoned village where time feels distorted and silence weighs heavier than sound. Houses stand empty, roads vanish into fog, and traces of violence linger without explanation. As you explore the environment, the village slowly reveals fragments of a past that was never meant to surface.

The game focuses on environmental storytelling and atmosphere rather than constant action. Every location, object, and sound is designed to create tension and unease, encouraging players to observe carefully and piece together the narrative themselves. Horror emerges gradually — through disturbing imagery, sudden encounters, and moments where reality feels fragile and unreliable.

At the heart of the story lies an ancient mythological presence tied to the land itself. As the narrative unfolds, the player is forced to confront unsettling revelations about identity, fate, and inheritance. What begins as an investigation turns into a personal descent, culminating in a truth that redefines everything you thought you knew.
