About:

Final Case is a short first-person psychological mystery set in a secluded house. You play as a detective investigating a cold case murder - a case that may be more personal than you realize. Once inside, the house locks itself, and the deeper you dig for answers, the more disturbing the truth becomes. Is this just a house with secrets, or is it something much worse?

CHAPTER 1 - One Way Trip

You came here for answers.
A name, a motive, a piece of the past that never fit.
The file was thin.
Cold case. Remote house. Two victims. No suspects.
No one left to care... except you.
The house greeted you with silence.
Dust on the floor.
Shadows that moved like they remembered you.
Something about it felt... too familiar.
You stepped inside.

CHAPTER 2 - Reality Changes the Further You Go

The truth has a way of echoing in the places you tried to forget.
The house doesn't let go - not of the past, not of you.
As you step deeper into its hollow heart.
The walls no longer hold reality together.
Time blurs. Memory fractures.
What you see now is not what was... It's what you refused to see.
The stairs weren't there before - but they are now.
They rise into nothing. And yet, you climb.
Because this isn't about solving a mystery anymore.
It's about facing it.

CHAPTER 3 - Someone Is Guiding You

You've come this far... not alone.
Something led you back here - again.
But this time, the house feels different...
Quieter. Watching. Waiting.
You're not searching for answers anymore.
You're following a path laid out for you.
Step by step...
Are you ready to remember... everything?
