Editorial overview
What it is
We Never Left is a hybrid first-person / text-adventure narrative horror game inspired by '80s horror films as well as No Code's Stories Untold, it was developed as part of the Dread X Collection 5 anthology game. All 12 developers in the collection were tasked to make a unique game in 2 months that fit the unifying theme of "entertainment". Dread X Collection 5 is currently available on Steam.
The premise
The year is 1983. You sit at home alone on a dark and stormy night until the ring of the phone pierces your ears. Answering, you hear a voice unfamiliar to you. The mysterious caller informs you with little urgency that your recluse game developer of a cousin has gone missing. All that was found of him was a note. Written inside was your contact information and a vague message: “FINISH THE GAME”.
