CASE VERIDIAN

Detective at the opera house

CASE VERIDIAN is a first-person psychological horror and investigative walking simulator for PC. You play homicide detective Arthur Mace, sent to write a final site report at the abandoned Veridian Opera House before its demolition. The opera house was the scene of a 1978 fire during the premiere of The Crimson King, after which 140 people vanished. The case was closed as an accident, but Mace finds evidence that it was not.

Clues and puzzles

You investigate the opera house’s corridors, read old operational logs, uncover clues and solve logic-based puzzles. There’s no combat. Instead, the horror comes through changes in the building’s layout, sound and other spatial anomalies.
