The story

You were camping in the woods with two friends when an obscure event caused you to lose consciousness and wake up alone in an unknown, strange place. Explore your surroundings, look for clues in mysterious locations, run and hide from the dark spirits awakened by your presence. Do your best to survive, find your friends and uncover the mysteries hidden deep within Hallowseed – a place forgotten by time, damned and gripped by mysterious demonic terror!

Key Features:

  • Rich story - The player is driven by the story of a village whose inhabitants were seduced by an obscure power and condemned to darkness. While seeking to save his friends, the protagonist, Michael, will uncover what role he plays in all this tragedy.

  • Tense atmosphere - Immersive sound design and stunning visuals that will always keep you on your toes.

  • Micro-scares system - A system of random scary events that activate based on how you interact with the environment and will make you jump from your chair (or couch). Try different playthroughs with different choices to experience different scares!

  • Inspired by Horror Movie Classics - Insidious, The Conjuring and The Exorcism of Emily Rose.

  • Hallowseed is the first chapter in the Horror Story series by Jeff Winner, stay tuned for more!

If you have difficulties in the walktrough, this guide will be very useful: [/b] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3561496240 [h1] Careful: the devil's evil, God's good. [/h1] Right from the start, you should throw out all that flowery nonsense that developer Jeff Winner dumped on Steam, promising a "deep story," "reactive AI," and a "tense atmosphere."
