Horror Tale 1: Kidnapper

A story-led horror adventure

Horror Tale 1: Kidnapper is a puzzle adventure set in the 1990s, where children are disappearing from the neighborhood of Lakewitch. You investigate the mystery, search for useful items, solve riddles, and try to stay ahead of the kidnapper. The game suits players who want a compact horror story with exploration and problem-solving rather than combat-focused action.

What you do

You play alongside your friend Harry as the two of you work to protect yourselves and the other children. One part of the plan involves strengthening a tree house, but reaching that goal means moving through threatening locations, finding clues, and handling unexpected turns in the story. The game is the first part of a continuing horror series, so it focuses on establishing its characters, setting, and central mystery.

• Explore five varied locations in the neighborhood
• Look for items and use them to progress
• Complete puzzles and riddles tied to the story
• Face a recurring kidnapper and other tense encounters
• Play through stylized visuals with an original soundtrack
