A remote cliffside, a grieving family, and a doll that should never have been freed. If you’re brave enough, you’ll soon have the chance to dive even deeper into the darkness.
Indie publisher Firenut Games, in collaboration with Digital Dream, has announced Baptiste, a psychological horror game arriving later this year on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X.
This summer, Baptiste is launching a Kickstarter campaign, offering horror fans and supporters a direct hand in shaping the game’s development.
At the heart of Baptiste is the story of Sara and her son Tom. After the devastating loss of their family’s patriarch, the pair move to Jagged Shore Cliff, a hauntingly isolated location atop a UK cliffside. It’s meant to be a new beginning, but they’re not alone.
Inside their eerie new home lies a forgotten cabinet, and within it, a doll named Baptiste. An ominous warning hangs from its glass prison: “Never release this from its glass prison.” Naturally, things go from bad to nightmare fuel.
Players take on the role of Tom, a tormented young man battling his inner demons while navigating a mansion teeming with unspeakable horrors.
