Psychological horror game Perceptum will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store in spring 2027, publisher Perp Games and developer Duck Reaction announced.
Here is an overview of the game, via Perp Games:
About
Perceptum is an independent psychological horror game lasting around 3 hours, focused on discomfort, uncertainty, and the feeling that something is always just out of sight. You play as a medium searching for a family that mysteriously vanished shortly after moving into their new home. Inside the house, familiar spaces feel wrong, silence becomes oppressive, and your senses cannot be trusted. Walk through the odd halls of the house, close your eyes to hear the beyond, use your mirror to see the unseen, and uncover the truth hidden within these walls.
Your Objective
An entire family vanished without a trace. The police eventually abandoned the case. Now, you are the last hope to uncover the truth. As a medium, you must step inside the house and piece together what truly happened. Search for clues, solve puzzles, and let your senses guide you through this linear horror experience.
Gameplay ExperienceYour only weapons are a mirror and the ability to close your eyes. Your mirror reveals what cannot be seen with the naked eye, exposing hidden traces and disturbing reflections. Closing your eyes leaves you vulnerable, forcing you to rely on altered sounds and distant whispers to find your way. As you explore the house, curiosity and unease grow side by side. The atmosphere is oppressive, and the feeling of being watched never fully fades.
Tension runs throughout the experience, shifting between quiet oppression and intense moments of fear. The house reacts to your presence, and the mirror remains both a tool and a threat. When something finally reveals itself, there is no way to fight back.
Trust your instincts: if you think you saw or heard something, you probably did. Stay calm, pay attention to every detail. You might not be alone.
Key Features
- An empty house. A missing family. A mystery the police couldn’t solve. Playing as a Medium, you’ll investigate a cold and seemingly quiet case. Equipped with only a mirror to see what the naked eye can’t and a “gift” to home in on sounds when closing your eyes, the oppressive family home will be yours to search for clues and solve puzzles. Are you brave enough to find out what truly happened here?
- Risk and reward go hand-in-hand with vulnerability playing a leading role. Hidden traces are scattered throughout the house and with your only two mechanics to help guide you, every creek, whisper, and scuttle will be felt to your core.
- An inescapable, intense atmosphere not for the faint hearted. The feeling of being watched. A suspicious shadow. An unexplainable distant noise. You are certainly not alone. The house feels and follows your every move, daring you to question every detail.
