A downloadable Prologue Demo for Windows

10 years ago, Vittoria's father was murdered by a worker in their orchard. It's now 1925, and the man makes a sudden reappearance in her life as a wealthy Don.

When she meets a wayward carnival performer who also has a bone to pick with the Don, the two scheme to teach him a lesson, at a deadly price.


  • Exploration-rich maps inspired by real locations in Sicily

Hi, I'm a developer, I'm interested in your horror game, if you find it interesting I can be part of the project and help, I wouldn't charge anything, I found it very promising, and I'm becoming more and more interested in this dark style, sorry for my English

thank you for reaching out! I don’t need any help at this time but it’s very kind of you to offer it! I wish you the best of luck with your works 🙂

The artwork is truly beautiful; it seems like a very promising project.

Thank you so much for trying it out!! The video made my day, you're one of the first to do so, so it means a lot. Hope you stick around for the demo demo and full release!
