Thorner is an upcoming horror visual novel for PC, where players try to escape their past by fleeing into the wilderness. The game will feature multiple endings based on the choices you make throughout the story.
Developed by the UK-based studio Snoring Dog Games, Thorner is their second title, following the release of The Flayed Man in April 2025.
You are Colin Snead, a military veteran. Haunted by your time in the service, you flee to the Scottish wilderness attempting to escape your past. However, you will find that spilled blood is not easily forgiven, and you are not alone.
Features:
Three endings tailored to your personality. The ending you receive will be based on the choices you make regarding Colin’s thoughts, words, and actions.
Original art with a unique, disturbing style that will stick with you long after you finish playing. All purchases will include several Steam avatars featuring artwork from the game.
Atmospheric, original soundtrack, included with all purchases of the game under a CC BY‑NC 4.0 licence.
Accessibility options, including the ability to change fonts to suit your requirements, turn off time-based choices, and disable screen movement.
Weird, grotesque nature-based horror that will make you think twice about going for a walk in the woods.
Thorner does not have a release date set yet, but it is currently available to wishlist on Steam.
