Description
About This Game
"in 1674, reverend of Isokyrö, Israel Ulftanus wrote that human bones have risen up from Leväluhta spring throughout the ages"
Inspired by the book "Leväluhta" by Marko Hautala, the story revolves around an ancient burial site in Orismala, a struggling eldercare nurse, and a lonely old woman. Beautifully photographed 2D graphics inspired by movies like The Lighthouse, Night of the hunter, and Persona. With gameplay-driven storytelling and slow-paced claustrophobic dread, Leväluhta is a unique horror experience like no other.
MATURE HORROR
Noir horror set in real-world Finnish locations, no jumpscares or splatter.
UNIQUE GAMEPLAY
Classic adventure game mechanics but fully modernised with a heavy emphasis on movement and strategy. Play as a eldercare nurse without the resources for her job - to take care of an old patient and her house. Vacuum, make food, clean, fix, and so forth, based on job descriptions. Race against the clock, manage your stress levels, and fight against randomised daily complications.
PLAYER-DRIVEN INVESTIGATION
Taking a twist to the horror mansion trope, your patient has a small house with unexplained hidden layers. Uncover its secrets at your own pace, with your own smarts.
FOCUS ON REPLAYABILITY
One-time branching dialogues & small special randomised events that don't show up on each playthrough. Instead of vast content, Leväluhta focuses on small, meaningful, curated details.
