Graves

You've entered an abandoned hospital to film yet another fake investigation. Empty corridors, collapsed ceilings, the smell of mold and rust—everything is perfect for a scary video. At first, it seemed like a game, but soon you realize: not everything is as scripted. Graves appears on the recording. Not a man, but a creature, manifesting only in moments of strong emotion. Anger, fear, lust—and he chooses you. At first, only a shadow, movement in the corner, a barely audible rustle. You chalk it all up to self-hypnosis. But each feeling brings him closer, stronger. The flashlight flickers, doors close unexpectedly, objects shift on their own. Attempts at humor turn dangerous. The camera falls, and you lose your bearings. And suddenly he's in front of you. His gaze pierces, and you see that he's no longer a shadow or a trick of the light. The corridors narrow, your breath catches, and you freeze in shock.

Graves is a creature that feeds on emotional energy. Its manifestations depend on the intensity of the character's feelings: the stronger the fear, anger, or lust, the closer and more tangible it becomes. The story is built on a gradual awareness of danger and tension in empty, narrow corridors where the boundaries between reality and illusion blur. The player interacts with the character through their emotions, and this determines how intense their presence will be.
