About

In the early 2000s, a web of abuse, corruption, and secrecy stretched across continents. Behind private estates, luxury lifestyles, and influential circles lay crimes hidden from the public eye. You heard the rumors. Everyone did. Corruption. Power. Something inhuman. But the official story never added up, and the people asking the right questions stopped asking.
Now it's your turn.
A Dark Detective Exploration Experience
Immerse yourself in an eerie world filled with tension, mystery, and unsettling realism. Investigate abandoned facilities, underground locations, secret archives, and forgotten crime scenes connected to a disturbing conspiracy.

Become an Investigative Detective
Search environments carefully, gather evidence, uncover hidden files, and connect fragments of information to slowly reveal the truth behind a massive criminal network.

Clue-Based Mystery Investigation
There are no traditional choice-based story paths. Progress depends entirely on your ability to discover clues, analyze details, and connect the dots between events, people, and locations.
Psychological Horror Rooted in Reality
Apestin Explorer creates fear through disturbing revelations, oppressive environments, hidden truths, and the terrifying possibility that the true evil exists within humanity itself.

Unravel a Massive Hidden Conspiracy
As the investigation progresses, seemingly unrelated incidents begin to connect, revealing a horrifying network far larger than anyone imagined.

Immersive Atmosphere and Sound Design
Detailed environments, haunting ambient audio, realistic lighting, and unsettling music create a constant sense of paranoia and dread throughout your investigation.
For decades, they operated in plain sight. Behind luxury estates, private gatherings, and carefully crafted reputations, a hidden network exploited the vulnerable while the powerful looked the other way. As long-buried secrets began to surface, one horrifying truth emerged: the real monsters were not lurking in the dark. They were protected by wealth, influence, and a system designed to keep them untouchable.
In Apestin Explorer, you play as a detective determined to uncover the truth behind the massive underground crime network buried beneath layers of secrecy, manipulation, and terror. Explore abandoned locations, collect hidden evidence, and connect scattered clues tied to horrifying events that were never meant to be exposed.
Every document, hidden room, and forgotten recording pulls you deeper into a world where power silences justice and fear controls reality. The deeper you investigate, the darker the truth becomes.

Really great game, and it actually improved by leaps after the lastest update!
First 10 clues are fast to find but then it is tough to find more. Mansion is so spooky but loved the music and vibe
Downloaded the game a couple of hours ago and have been hooked to it. The environment is good, creepy and horrifying. The gameplay feels nice, same with the overall feel. Though finding the glowsticks is a pain 😂 and there are no names that the "real" islands had, just kidding! But really good game! 👏
This game grips you into the intense story plot to find all the clues. Its narrative based clues are a bit tough to find. There are about 96 total clues. While the placement of these clues are a real challenge I am having a spine chilling time going through all of them Pros: - Good visuals (Unreal Engine here so base itself is great) - Sound effects. These are what make the game really stand out Cons: - Sometimes its too difficult to figure out where the next clues are as its a vast island - Mechanics a bit confusing. Especially when to press left and right click on objects I'm going to try and see if I can find all clues.
The game, story line, gameplay are really good! But I have some feedbacks! 1. The flashlights and glowsticks have to much intensity when in full capacity up until it hits 5% causing visibility issues. 2. There are collider issues through out the map resulting in improper movement when in cramped-up spaces. That's all for the feedbacks! I am really enjoying this game!
The game is awesome i recommend to play this game and finish it.because of interesting clues and you have a curiosity to found all those clues.
I thought this was a cozy walking sim. Instead, Apestin Explorer handed me a 2002 detective badge and gaslit my soul. There are no ghosts or jump-scares—just a spreadsheet of money laundering, cannibalism, and corporate depravity. The true horror is just rich people being awful. I read a file on secret archives and now I’m pretty sure my microwave is spying on me. I’d literally rather fight Dracula than look at another tax evasion document. 10/10, deleting my browser and moving to the woods.
The game is really fun and challanging, I was playing at midnight, I was expecting some jumpscares, but fortunately i managed to get quite some evidences and pictures of some real dark #hits without getting scared much. will keep playing , and hope the devs keep adding more easter eggs. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4729520/Apestin_Explorer/#
If you're expecting jump scares every five minutes, this isn't that kind of horror. This game gets under your skin in a much better way. The atmosphere is constantly unsettling. You'll hear whispers that make you turn around for absolutely no reason, lights flicker just enough to keep you questioning what you saw and every abandoned hallway or blood-stained bathroom makes you hesitate before taking the next step. Pro tip: Bring glow sticks. Seriously. Some places are so dark you'll either find a clue.... or your own heartbeat. ;) The best part? The clues are hidden where your brain says, "Nah, there's definitely nothing here" Wrong. Check again. This game doesn't hand you evidence on a silver platter or slap a giant objective marker on it. You'll walk past something, move on, then suddenly think, "...hold on" Next thing you know, you're backtracking because that random shelf, broken chair or forgotten corner was hiding exactly what you were looking for and one more thing—follow the roads. They lead to new buildings and locations and every time I thought, "This place looks abandoned" the game basically whispered, "Good... now go inside." There are a few minor glitches, which is understandable for a first release. My only real suggestion is adding a way to recover health after accidental fall damage... be careful, don't fall. The story tackles some very dark real-world themes and the horror comes from slowly uncovering the truth rather than fighting monsters. If you enjoy exploration, piecing together clues and a constant feeling that something isn't right, this game is worth your time. I'm 10+ hours in, still missing clues and I'm starting to think the game is investigating me instead.
