In The Pactmaker, the world we know is only part of a greater reality. To uncover the truth, you must absorb and explore the memories of a diverse cast of characters, take control of them, and shift between different realities from Scotland to Egypt.
"Remember: everything comes with a price, and yours might just be too high to pay. I wanted to create an experience where choices carry weight and characters aren't just tools to solve puzzles, but fractured souls with their own motives."
The Pactmaker will be available for PC (Windows) via Steam. Visit the store page here.
