What the game is about you see in the article


A 2D indie horror game inspired by the Devil's Footprints in Devon, England (1855)

Concept:

  • Play a 8 years old child experiencing somthing surreal and terrifying in their snowy village. The game focuses on atmosphere, isolation and the feeling of being trapped in a world that's slowly unraveling

  • Everything you see, the supernatural, the disturbing, might just be illusions reflecting the child's fears. memories, or trauma. Nothing is funny explained, leaveing the mystery open-ended, just like the real Devil's Footprints

Gameplay:

  • Explore the village and surrounding areas following mysterious hoof prints

  • Interact with villagers and a mysterious hunter

  • Discover environmental storytelling: cryptic messages, strange changes in the world, and surreal transformations

  • Solve optional puzzles and uncover clues to piece together what’s happening

  • Experience subtle horror and suspense without jump scares, it’s all about mood and tension

This is still very much WIP, but I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

Theme: Isolation, surreal horror, mystery and the unexplained

Atmosphere: Snowy, dreamlike, unsettling and suspenseful

In short, LITW is about fear and the trauma caused by the unexplainable event "Devil's Footprints". An 8 year old child processes such things in a completely different way, and since it takes place in 1855, that also has a big influence on how people perceive events. This keeps the game open to unreal and disturbing elements, while also leaving the question of whether anything actually happened at all.
