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?

Reviews
this is a slow-burn psychological horror game that focuses more on atmosphere than jump scares. Instead of relying on traditional horror tropes, the game leans heavily into psychological unease. You’re never quite sure if what you’re seeing is real, imagined, or something in between.
Gostei muito do jogo, mais tenho duas observações: O idioma coloca nas opções o português Brasil e pelo amor de Deus arrume a sensibilidade do mouse porque esta horrivel para jogar, porém o jogo é muito bom.
I mean...I can't see how this was the first installment for the series considering this was the biggest waste of 15 minutes. Nothing happened. What a letdown. Sure a few small jumpscares but there was no point.

Pretty big waste of time, also no way to turn off head bob, so the whole time playing I was just feeling very sick.

bad game 2/10 love the ai
made me uncomfortable so it's good
I liked it until I was stuck in your room and I couldn't find a way out.So I still like the game
It's pretty short and simple; nothing groundbreaking here, but if you just want a straightforward quick horror where you wander about a house and learn about it's spooky occupant (with a couple of jumpscares thrown in) then you can't really go wrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3OSFXS6tS4
Игра "The Permanent Residence: Souls Kept" оставила двоякое впечатление. С одной стороны, визуальный стиль и мрачная атмосфера действительно цепляют. Художники явно постарались, создав жуткий, детализированный мир, полный тайн. История, поначалу кажущаяся простой, постепенно раскрывается, заставляя игрока задуматься о вечных вопросах жизни и смерти. Головоломки, в целом, неплохие, требуют внимательности и логического мышления. С другой стороны, управление оставляет желать лучшего. Неуклюжесть персонажа порой раздражает, а некоторые пазлы решаются скорее методом тыка, чем логически. Кроме того, встречаются баги, которые, хоть и не критичны, но портят впечатление от игры. В целом, "The Permanent Residence: Souls Kept" – неплохая игра для любителей атмосферных хорроров с элементами головоломок. Если вы готовы мириться с небольшими техническими недочетами ради интересного сюжета и жуткой атмосферы, то она может вам понравиться. Но если вы цените плавность геймплея и безупречную техническую реализацию, то стоит подумать дважды.
