For fans of slashers and video games, developer Tainted Pact’s Lovecraftian-tinged horror adventure title Terror at Oakheart is out now on Steam, with a 15% launch discount until March 12. Reminiscent of games and films from the 80s and 90s, Terror at Oakheart sports a gorgeous pixel art style that gives it a nostalgic touch, combined with an atmospheric presentation that aims to keep you hooked.
In Terror at Oakheart, you will move through a number of sets throughout the town, where you’ll encounter a horrifying killer named Teddy, who dons a clown costume for his killing spree and terrorizes the community. As the body count rises, you must uncover the secrets behind this masked menace and the town of Oakheart itself. You’ll visit locations such as Teddy’s house, the nearby police station, a ranger station, camp areas, and others. As you explore, you’ll investigate and uncover more about Teddy and the town of Oakheart, including the realization that Teddy is under the sway of a Lovecraftian monster.
Players will step into the shoes of Eric, Ethan, Rose, Tyler and other characters as you progress and investigate. Of course, you’ll also watch as each one survives or falls at Teddy’s hands. Luckily, you’re able to hide from Teddy in closets and the like in order to escape.
If you’re still on the fence, you can always try out the Steam demo for Terror at Oakheart before you buy.
