About
The Empty House – An Interactive Experience About Dementia
The Empty House is a deeply emotional and surreal interactive narrative experience that takes you inside the unraveling mind of a woman suffering from advanced dementia. As reality crumbles around her, time loops, memories distort, and once-familiar places become eerie and unrecognizable.
This is not a traditional puzzle or action game. Instead, it is an experiment in perception, a descent into forgetting, and an exploration of what it means to lose oneself. Through cinematic storytelling and full-motion video (FMV), you will experience the world through her fractured mind—where choices, no matter how small, can reshape her fading reality.
Your journey begins with the Light Path, a more reflective and emotional exploration of memory loss, filled with moments of nostalgia and heartbreak.
In "Shadows of The Empty House", reality becomes a nightmare. This alternate version of the story is deeply unsettling, full of psychological horror and existential dread. Shadows stretch unnaturally, familiar faces become faceless specters, and time itself bends in ways you can’t understand.
The choices you make determine whether you will find solace in the memories that remain—or become lost in the terrifying void of forgetfulness.
🔹 Over 1.5 Hours of Interactive Video – A rich, cinematic experience with real actors and filmed sequences.
🔹 Multiple Paths & Secret Endings – With over 10 different endings, every choice matters. Some are hidden… waiting to be discovered.
🔹 Psychological Horror Without Jumpscares – The true fear here is existential, built on loss, confusion, and the slow erosion of identity.
🔹 Minimalist & Atmospheric Gameplay – No complex mechanics—just pure, immersive storytelling.
🔹 A Story That Changes With You – No two playthroughs are the same. Your actions shape the narrative.
The Empty House is more than just an interactive story—it’s a way to make a difference. A portion of the proceeds from this project will be donated to organizations dedicated to dementia and Alzheimer’s research, funding both patient support and the search for a cure.
By playing, you are not just exploring a fading mind—you are helping those who live this reality every day.
There is no single way to experience The Empty House. Each choice alters the journey in ways both subtle and profound. Some decisions will bring clarity. Others will deepen the confusion.
Will you fight to hold on to reality? Or will you surrender to the abyss of forgetting?
Every playthrough is a new experience. Every ending is a reflection of your choices.

A beautiful yet haunting game. Well shot and actors were great (hats off to the Kozma family). The inventive use of AI imagery really assisted the feeling of dread, great use of this technology. Thank you for creating this game. Oh one last thing. The game reminds me of my favourite surrealist short film "Meshes of the afternoon" (1943) if you're reading this review go watch that film also!

"The empty house - a dementia interactive experience" is an interactive movie exploring dementia. Navigating the fading mind of the main character, the player needs to take choices that can shape the reality, each telling a different story and leading to different endings. While the idea behind this product (cannot really call it game) is noble, and i approve the fact that portion of the proceedings will be donated to organizations trying to find cure for dementia and Alzheimer, the game itself is... Let's start with the little things. The ingame text is changing way too fast. The volume is too high and there is no in-game option to lower it (So you have to use windows controls for that). These two can be fixed without too much problems. What i really didn't liked and will be harder to fix is the way how the story is presented. It's way too abstract. Way too surrealistic. Way too artsy, if you will. Trying to win the attention of people, especially about topic like this requires a bit easier to chew approach. So while i support the idea 100% (and i have played and created videos about other games exploring the same topics), i cannot really recommend the final product. Video: https://youtu.be/10mlIthtCLo
Dementia is one of my deepest fears, and The Empty House drops you right into its unsettling mindscape. This was a great experience and the fact that a portion of the funds goes directly to research on this topic is great. I really enjoyed my time experiencing this and the lovely behind the scenes!
Заставляет задуматься.
I like the art style a lot. It´s a surreal experience with good acting, sound and location. But I don´t know if it is the best way to express the main theme. While I enjoyed the presentation, I couldn´t find myself feeling what I was supposedly supposed to feel.
Very weird experience but a great idea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7ZoNMFiZlo [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40526744-KillaCyst/]Steam Recommendations[/url] [url=https://youtube.com/killacyst?sub_confirmation=1]YouTube[/url] [url=https://www.tiktok.com/@killacyst]TikTok[/url]
Very interesting, it has a replayability value. Worth a try, honest opinion.
游戏是以阿尔茨海默症为核心主题的互动叙事游戏,通过碎片化叙事,让玩家亲历记忆逐渐崩塌的无力感,通过孩童和老年的视角切换,让人不禁感叹岁月的流失如同记忆的失去一样不可逆转,尽管其玩法略显单薄,但在情感表达与主题深度上,直面认知衰退背后的哲学命题。 相比游戏,更像是一部意识流的纪录片,当老人进入空屋后,自己的模样也变成孩童时期,读过的书本逐渐模糊,曾经的玩具也支离破碎,庭院里的水塘鱼早已死去,镜子中的烛火摇曳着诡异的光,有些是记忆的衰退,有些是意识的扭曲,身患阿尔茨海默症是怎样的体验,可能对于大部分人并不清楚,游戏以一种独特的影像处理,将这种差异具象化地进行表达,让人在后怕之余,真真切切体验得了阿尔茨海默症之后的痛苦折磨,正如一位阿尔茨海默症家属所言“玩这款游戏像在预习自己的未来——可怕,但必要” 游戏兼顾人文关怀和艺术性,不多的选项,固定的几个情景,据说有多个不同结局,但我想最为主要的分叉点就在前面选择光明路线还是阴暗路线上,我尚还未一一尝试。游戏还有额外的制作花絮内容,有完整的短片内容(跟光明路线几乎一样),以及拍摄花絮,本片的拍摄实际只用了三天时间,相当的高效了,虽然确实也没有太多复杂的剧情内容,另外还有VR全景探索模式在房屋内探索。 在记忆的碎片中打捞存在的重量,在空屋中游历老人的一生。 [quote]关注「 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42276832//]鸿源鉴游组」 [/url] [/quote] [u][b] 会当逢佳游,始可见鸿源。 [/b][/u]
Para aqueles que desejam uma experiência de uma mente sem lembranças, ou com lembranças absurdamente desorientadas que sempre está tentando encontrar algo que acha que sabe o que é, mas nunca se recorda o que realmente foi, esse é o jogo para você se perder num lugar onde nunca vai encontrar a saída
