    Charon’s Staircase is more a thriller than a horror with a very intriguing story that has some pretty cool twists. Some of the puzzles are a bit ambiguous and will leave you scratching your head, but in the end you’ll have experienced another treasure of storytelling from the minds of a talented and dedicated smaller studio.

    Charon’s Staircase doesn’t exactly redefine the horror genre. It looks a bit rough, and its tried-and-tested gameplay doesn’t break any moulds. But the majority of its puzzles will keep you hooked, its story is interesting, and it absolutely nails creating a tense, horrifying atmosphere.

    The story may hook you and it’s certainly interesting to explore the world of Charon’s Staircase, but this doesn’t quite rise above the other games in this genre.

    Confused puzzles, a convoluted story, poor use of lighting and no real scares makes Charon’s Staircase a good reason for taking the escalator instead.

    Una aventura con buenas intenciones y ganas de trasladarnos al terror clásico, pero que descarrila en lo técnico y en el diseño de varias pruebas. Necesitaba más testeo, claramente.

    Charon’s Staircase was potentieel een oprecht enge game geweest als veel van de aanwezige elementen beter uitgewerkt waren. Nu mist de game de echte schrikmomenten en is er grafisch te weinig aandacht geweest voor de puntjes op de i. Datzelfde geldt voor de puzzels die je tegenkomt en de besturing. De game voelt simpelweg niet af aan en dan is 40 euro echt te veel geld om neer te leggen.

About the game

Trailers & Screenshots:
In the 1970s, a totalitarian regime known as The Ministry ruled with an iron fist. They committed numerous inhumane and sinister acts during their reign, but those days are over, as they now aspire to join the European Union. You play as an agent codenamed: ‘Desmond’, sent by The Ministry who is tasked with retrieving and destroying classified documents from the Oack Grove estate, that reveal the horrifying activities that happened in the past. Your journey, however, leads you to an unpleasant and gruesome discovery – Project Alpha.
