Horror fans rejoice, a new title is entering the genre that is guaranteed to send chills down your spine. Charon’s Staircase is a brand new horror game that is set to revolutionize the genre. If you like games that will give you a heart attack, read on to learn more.

In Charon’s Staircase, you are an agent sent to Oake Grove, an estate that holds the secret of a new region of the European Union’s dark past. Your mission is to destroy the evidence surrounding these historical events, but the horror of what happened is far more than what even you anticipated.

Will you destroy the evidence of what you see in the estate, or die trying to share the knowledge with the world?

Jump Scares Around Every Corner

Similar to games like Phasmophobia, expect a lot of terrifying jump scares throughout your gameplay. The estate is creepy, and the developers take great joy in eliciting screams from you every few seconds. The game also has deeper horror elements to make the game well rounded, so it isn’t just a few jump scares.

The game is rated for violence, gore and blood, so we can probably expect to see a lot of this along the way as well. The developers have been fairly secretive about the game with just a cryptic 44-second-long teaser trailer to gauge the quality of the game by.

Puzzles to solve

The game is more than just scary. You are there to explore the estate and find the missing papers. This means solving a few puzzles. The game is meant to have a detective/puzzler slant to it, and this really comes through as you explore the area. There are quite a few puzzles to solve, so expect to spend a few hours in this game exploring the halls of the estate and searching for answers.

Decent Graphics

Charon’s Staircase creates a dark and moody landscape. The graphics do wonders to help set the stage for this well-developed world. The 70s style hospital theme is very detailed and has many horror inspired themes.

Although it doesn’t quite have the crispness of some of the most modern works, the graphics are very well done.

Not appropriate for Children

This is not horror in the way of 5 Nights at Freddy’s. This is a serious horror/dark adventure game that is likely to give children or sensitive people nightmares. If you are at all sensitive or are looking for a game for an older child, look elsewhere. This is a game for older teens and adults, and not all of them.

7

Charon’s Staircase promises to be a dark exploration game with plenty to keep you horrified. If you enjoy the horror genre and aren’t afraid of a few jump scares, this game is a must play. If you’re not into jump scares or if you were looking for a game for a younger child, you’ll want to look for something a little milder.

Pros:

  • Interesting storyline
  • True horror
  • Lots of puzzles

Cons:

  • Unknown
