About
The Permanent Residence pulls you into the unsettling world of an isolated bungalow shrouded in mystery and dread. You step into the shoes of a traveling musician, stranded after your shows are suddenly canceled. Desperate and tempted by a 50% discount, you take up an offer to stay in this strange house, blissfully unaware of the horrors that await.
The once-quiet halls now hum with whispers, and the walls seem to hide secrets aching to be uncovered. As you piece together strange clues, the bungalow’s chilling history unfolds—a past filled with rituals, vanishings, and a dark presence that refuses to let go. Soon, you realize that walking out the door might not be as simple as walking in.
In Souls Kept, the first chapter of "The Permanent Residence" series, you take on the role of a musician drawn into the chilling mystery of an isolated bungalow. With only cryptic diary entries and unsettling photographs left behind by a vanished wedding photographer to guide you, you’ll piece together the terrifying events that have cursed this house.
Can you uncover its secrets before it’s too late? Will you find a way out, or will you become yet another soul ensnared in its dark, unrelenting grip?

Olmayan bir hikaye, kötü assetlerle yapılmış grafikler, rezalet bir optimizasyon. Ve korkunç bile değil. (A non-existent story, graphics made with bad assets, a disgraceful optimization. And it's not even scary.)
I don’t usually review games but this one was incredibly good. One of the scariest I’ve played in a while. Highly highly recommend. Here’s my playthrough: https://youtu.be/SC_8ePXvSGQ
