THIS GAME IS ONLY IN GERMAN.

Story

The Semblance, inspired by Japanese horror games, unfolds a quiet, creeping sense of threat. The player enters an abandoned research bunker, where traces of past experiments can be found, while staying in contact with their sister via radio. As they uncover the dark secret of the place, initial curiosity gradually turns into uncertainty and fear. What once served the pursuit of knowledge reveals itself as the origin of a horror that should never have endured.
