About
Step into the haunting world of Ardena, a first-person survival horror game that will test your wits and courage. Alone in a shadowy forest surrounded by an eerie silence, your only solace is a flickering campfire. But the fire won’t last forever—it’s up to you to keep it alive.
Gather wood to fuel your campfire, your only shield against the encroaching darkness. The fire's glow keeps you safe, but as it fades, the forest becomes more menacing. The thickening fog warns of the dangers that await when the light disappears.
Scattered throughout the woods are cryptic clues and unsettling reports. They tell the story of a missing girl, a grieving mother, and a sinister force at work. As you explore, the forest reveals strange occurrences and hidden messages that hint at a greater mystery. Unravel who you are, where you are, and how to escape this nightmarish place. Somewhere in the shadows lies a way out—but will you piece it together in time, or will the night claim you?
You’re not alone. Mara Vandernacht, a tormented figure shrouded in mystery, stalks the forest. She grows stronger and more relentless as the fire dims. Follow the blood-scrawled warnings: "Don't look into her eyes," and find the key to your survival before it’s too late.
With a tense atmosphere, strategic gameplay, and a compelling story, Ardena delivers a chilling experience that will stay with you long after the night is over.

Wow. Incredible, unique horror experience. Can't wait to play more from this dev. Horror fans. MUST play.
Ambiance entraînante, petite histoire vraiment pas mal, on en apprend un peu plus à la fin. Je suis une grosse flipette mais le jeu déchire punaise !!! En espérant que le créateur continue de réaliser des jeux comme celui-ci ! :D
La pression est présente SURTOUT quand la musique commence a s'emballer. La scène de fin est juste incroyable. Merci ROLUUUUUUUUU pour cette masterclass
