It will also be available on Xbox Game Pass, making it easier for players to dive into Nightmarish mysteries.
Uncover Ancient Mysteries
The story begins at Miskatonic University, where Professor Harry Everhart notices strange shadows at the edge of his vision. At the same time, student Evangeline Drayton is haunted by recurring dreams about an artifact uncovered a decade ago. Together, they follow these clues across the globe, gradually revealing secrets older than anyone could have imagined.
Puzzles That Challenge the Mind

For those seeking deeper challenges, hidden Occult Books introduce reality-bending enigmas that test perception and ingenuity.
Explore Stunning Worlds
The adventure takes players from firelit New England libraries to the red sands of the Australian outback, frozen wastelands, and mysterious cities out of time. All environments are crafted in Unreal Engine 5, offering breathtaking visuals. Additionally, a haunting soundtrack by returning composer Eduardo De La Iglesia enhances every twist, turn, and revelation.
Fully Voice-Acted Storytelling
Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s The Shadow out of Time, the story explores grief, family, and sanity as Harry and Evangeline confront beings beyond human understanding. The game features full voice acting, including returning talents Yuri Lowenthal (Marvel’s Spider-Man, Arcane, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth) and Cissy Jones (Firewatch, Starfield, Baldur’s Gate III), ensuring emotional depth throughout the narrative.
