About the game
You are Thomas Ward and that is all you remember.
Enter the Cathedral of Sorrow. The simple wooden walls hide a twisted labyrinth housing the deprived and the depraved and an unknown force watching your every move and adapting the nightmare within. Face your fears, press on against the darkness and stare back at the abyss.
Cathedral of Sorrow is an experimental horror game starring Magnus Bruun (Assassin's Creed: Valhalla). Combining frantic first-person gameplay and immersive storytelling with procedural level generation and a dynamic fear director dynamically changing the experience.
Immerse yourself in a story of algorithmic cruelty, and how the systems we design to help us turn into jailers. Seek out those trapped in the nightmare with you to learn the truth of what happened to you. And should you fail, the Cathedral will embrace you once more, eager to surprise and terrify you in new and malicious ways.
AN EVOLVING NIGHTMARE
The baleful spirits haunting the Cathedral are hellbent on tormenting you. The game dynamically tracks and evaluates your playstyle to best decide when, where, and how to scare you next. Every whisper in the darkness and terrifying encounter is tailored to your fear profile for a unique and ever-changing horror experience.
EMOTIONAL PROBLEM SOLVING
The Cathedral plays host to a range of all-too-willing prisoners. To penetrate its dark heart and uncover its secrets, you will need their help. Experience a heartbreaking blend of narrative-driven horror and cinematic storytelling, as you learn the stories, navigate the minefield of their psyches, and decide the fates of the residents of the Cathedral where hell is most definitely other people.
A MAZE WITHOUT END
Death comes swiftly to the reckless and yet grants no release. With every reset, the abyssal labyrinth of the Cathedral procedurally twists, turns, and deepens as the game gets to know you. Traverse a boundless palette of danger-filled corridors, ranging from the gothic and grotesque to the infernal and impossible. No playthrough is the same.
A MIRROR DARKLY
Witness gripping scenes of emotional devastation and human frailty, as a cast of depthful and intriguing characters are brought to life by masterful performers, including Magnus Bruun (Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.) All fully voice acted and motion captured. Marvel at surrealistic and dreamlike environments with a soundtrack both eerie and beautiful.
