Unwelcome v1.14a

Unwelcome is a tense, atmospheric horror game that turns a childish dare into a desperate fight for survival. The rules are simple: draw straws, the unlucky one goes in first, only your jar of fireflies provides light, and whoever finds the full set of hidden cards becomes gang leader. Everything starts as a game, but a malevolent presence roaming the house quickly makes the search a nightmare-be quick, hide, stay silent, and above all don’t get caught.

What stands out is the game’s mood. The creators Octavi Navarro (Thimbleweed Park, Photographs...) and Susanna Granell (The Supper, The Librarian, Midnight Scenes) have crafted an unsettling world with a gorgeous blend of 3D environments and pixel art. The sparse, eerie soundtrack and finely tuned ambient effects amplify every creak and footstep, turning ordinary rooms into places of dread. Your only real tool is that jar of fireflies, which makes light management and stealth central to every decision.

Gameplay revolves around exploration and stealth. The house is packed with dozens of interactive objects and hidden secrets that slowly reveal the story of its late inhabitants. Your objective-to collect all the cards hidden throughout the house before the presence finds you-creates a constant rush of adrenaline. The balance between slow investigative moments and sudden bursts of terror makes each run unpredictable and gripping.

If you enjoy atmospheric, low-light horror with a strong emphasis on sound design and environmental storytelling, Unwelcome is worth trying. It’s a short but memorable experience that will keep you on edge and reward careful observation and quiet reflexes. Unwelcome is available to download.
