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?

+Well at least I didn't pay for it. -Oddly decorated house (different eras of decorations, restaurant grade dishwasher in kitchen of home, different kid in each photo even there's supposedly only one kid that died, strange items just laying about like gerry cans in the bathroom, odd room off the bedroom with just a dresser in it, strange adult books in kids room). This may not be important to some, but it's off-putting to me. -Extremely little interaction with environment. -No puzzles or thinking involved. -It's pretty much a walking simulator. -It wasn't even scary except for a couple jump scares that got me. (I admit though, the "spooky" aspect to some is probably my living room decor minus the writing on the wall. I just found the red hallway at the end cool and somewhere I'd want to hang out.) TBH, I found this a total waste of time and I'm mad I just didn't eat dinner on time instead. Making a grilled cheese in a Toastabag™ I just found going through my dead mother's things brings me more enjoyment than this game ever will.
It has great potential, but the beginning is very boring, there are almost no scares, and the plot feels very slow. They should improve significantly in the second part and add a menu to pause the game.

Game kept crashing. Could not get past the first 2 minutes.
Если есть желание быстро потратить 20 минут, впринципе сойдет. Визуально игра красивая, правда фпс 50, с RTX 3060 :D
Это небольшая инди-новелла (в жанре «визуальный роман») с элементами хоррора и детектива.
juegazo, pase el peor rato de mi vida jugando este juego
