About
Forgotten Villa is a first-person survival horror experience where isolation, tension, and mystery unfold inside a massive forest-surrounded estate.
What begins as a casual weekend trip quickly turns into a nightmare.
You wake up alone.
Your friends are gone.
And the only person left in the villa… is watching.
You drive through quiet roads, picking up your friends on the way to the villa.
Laughter fills the car, and everything feels normal.
But something about the journey feels… wrong.
This is the last moment of peace before everything changes.
The villa isn’t just a setting - it’s the core of the experience.
Explore a large interconnected house filled with:
Long, dimly lit hallways
Locked rooms and hidden areas
A basement hiding something important
A generator system that must be restored to survive
At first, it feels abandoned.
Then… it starts feeling wrong.
Subtle environmental changes, unnatural silence, and shifting tension make every step unpredictable.
There are no forced cutscenes guiding you.
Instead, the story unfolds through:
Notes and hidden clues
Environmental storytelling
Objects tied to past events
Disturbing discoveries as you progress
The deeper you explore, the more unsettling the truth becomes.
Every objective pushes you deeper into danger:
Restore power by fixing the generator
Search for missing items like fuel and fuse
Unlock new areas of the villa
Navigate in darkness and uncertainty
Progression is tied directly to exploration — and every step forward increases the risk.
Forgotten Villa focuses on:
Slow-building psychological tension
Immersive sound design
Realistic lighting and shadows
Minimal hand-holding for maximum immersion
This is not about constant jumpscares.
It’s about fear that stays with you.

Fun Game, the beginning is a little rough but it gets better. has 2 endings plays good, no problems Spoiler Good Ending: https://youtu.be/ZU1nPG2Fpao
The Game was good especially loved the music. But it needs some improvements. Keep it up :thums-up:
This is good, specially when lights cut off & graphics look great. Jumpscares are scary. Though I tried my best to play the whole game but I'm suffering from epilepsy & motion sickness, but wasn't able to complete it
Overall, I had a positive experience with the game. The visuals and atmosphere are immersive, and exploration feels engaging. Gameplay is simple but enjoyable, though interactions and movement could use a bit more polish. With better optimization and additional content in future updates, the game has strong potential to become even better.
It all begins with the death of your distant uncle, who surprisingly leaves you a villa. Naturally, your first thought is to call up three friends and drive there for a bit of fun. The game’s intro is a bit silly, which is less a result of the story and more a consequence of design choices. This becomes obvious almost immediately when you're tasked with driving around the city and picking up your friends. The city is reasonably sized, with wide streets and plenty of pedestrians wandering around with little regard for traffic. That's where you come in. You can run them over or send them flying through the air without causing any real harm because they simply get back up after a few moments and continue on as if nothing happened. To fully embrace the absurdity, there's even an achievement for hitting 500 people. Once you've had enough of that and decide to head to the villa, the experience starts resembling a more traditional indie horror game. You're greeted by your uncle's daughter, Priya, who casually walks through closed doors. This isn't some supernatural ability. It's just a bug. At least, that's the case until she turns hostile, knocks you unconscious, and begins chasing you through the villa, which has suddenly become dark and unsettling, complete with blood splatters covering the floors and walls. The gameplay should feel familiar to horror fans. For everyone else, the goal is to search the villa for useful items, most often keys that unlock additional doors. Important items are marked with a subtle sparkle, and your character will pick them up. Once collected, they're used automatically whenever you interact with the appropriate object or location. Opening drawers and closets usually leads to nothing, but you still have to search everywhere because they might contain a key item. Besides items, there’s also a collection of letters that gradually reveal more about what's happening. They also count toward an achievement if you manage to find them all. The jump scares are fairly low effort, relying on extremely loud sound effects that are noticeably louder than everything else in the game. Several scripted scares also trigger when you step on specific spots or walk through certain doors. While these moments aren't dangerous, Priya certainly is. She wanders around the villa and will chase you once she spots you, forcing you to sprint toward the nearest closet and hide. Oddly enough, it doesn't matter if she's right behind you when you enter a closet because she apparently has no idea how to open doors. Still, you can't run forever, so finding a hiding place quickly is important. Unfortunately, the game does a poor job of communicating whether you've been spotted or are actively being chased unless you happen to turn around and see Priya sprinting toward you. Most of the time she slowly patrols the villa, but there were several moments when I was calmly exploring only to suddenly discover her charging at me from behind. Thankfully, avoiding her is usually quite easy because closets are scattered all over the villa. Since the game expects you to explore while she's roaming freely, it would be frustrating if she could catch you too easily. That's especially true because you're limited to just three lives while trying to escape. Lose them all, and you'll have to restart the entire escape section from the beginning. That isn't a huge problem once you know where the important items are located, but it becomes annoying if you're collecting letters because you'll need to gather every single one again. The game is fairly short overall, but it encourages multiple playthroughs to unlock different endings. In my opinion, that's very tedious because every run requires repeating the same steps, including a particularly irritating maze section in the basement. You can’t take any shortcuts.
I HATE THEEE DAMM DOORRRS!! IN THIS GAME I ALWAYS GET STUCK ON THEM had more laughs then scares would recommend
Good short indie horror game. Worth trying.
