About
About the game
Helianthus is a third-person narrative survival horror game focused on exploration, resource management, environmental puzzles, and surviving against an relentless threat.
Explore an isolated motel filled with secrets, manage your flashlight's battery, search for scarce resources, solve puzzles, and uncover the truth behind a series of experiments that have twisted everything they touch.
If you enjoy games like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, The Last of Us, or Amnesia: The Bunker, you'll find an experience built around tension, exploration, and psychological horror.
Explore the Amberhusk Motel
Search abandoned rooms, dark hallways, and hidden areas while uncovering documents, key items, maps, and fragments of a story marked by failed experiments and unexplained disappearances.
Survival and Resource Management
Your flashlight is your most important tool. Manage its battery using charging stations scattered throughout the motel. Darkness limits your ability to detect threats, resources, and safe paths.
A Constant Threat
A creature stalks the halls of Amberhusk. Hide, evade danger, and use every resource wisely. Ammunition is limited, and every shot may bring unexpected consequences.
Environmental Puzzles
Solve puzzles, unlock new routes, and connect clues hidden throughout the environment to progress through a mystery-filled story.
Narrative Horror
Uncover the motel's secrets through documents, objects, recordings, and encounters with characters who know more than they appear to.
Story
Nick, a young orphan accustomed to surviving on his own, is being transported to the local police station when an accident forces an unexpected stop at the isolated Amberhusk Motel.
What seems like a routine interruption quickly becomes a nightmare.
Inside the motel, something has altered human biology and transformed the environment into a grotesque version of itself. As Nick searches for answers, he meets Sophie, a young girl who appears to be alive against all logic and asks for help finding her brother.
Each new clue reveals fragments of a far more disturbing truth. A mysterious presence seems to be spreading throughout the motel, corrupting everything it touches.
And at the center of it all, one symbol keeps appearing:
a sunflower.
