The Occultist

About the Project

The Occultist is an extensive collaboration with Daloar Studios where we provided comprehensive development support across multiple aspects of the game. From core gameplay mechanics and simulations to key art and trailers, our team worked closely with the developers to bring this haunting paranormal investigation to life.

Story

Players step into the role of Alan Rebels, a paranormal investigator who travels to the mysterious island of GodStone in search of his missing father. Armed with a mystical pendulum of unknown origin, Alan must explore the foggy streets and maddening buildings of an island that hasn't seen human presence since 1950.

GodStone's dark history revolves around an infamous cult known for their disturbing experiments and cruel rituals. As Alan delves deeper into the mystery, he must interact with - or avoid - the wrathful souls that remain, all while uncovering the truth about his father's disappearance and the island's sinister past.
