We Pretend

A Disturbing Journey Through Memory in We Pretend

We Pretend is a PS1-styled psychological horror game that envelops players in a disquieting atmosphere. Set in the fog-choked coastal town of Zaoyamada Riku, this game embodies a haunting narrative tied to folklore and family secrets. Players assume the role of Minufuri, a second-year student caught in an unsettling liminal space called the Shrouded Shack, where lost souls converge and an enigmatic Observer presents doors leading to forgotten memories.

Unraveling Secrets in the Shrouded Shack

Within the Shrouded Shack, every door opens a new, nightmarish memory for Minufuri to confront. The memory door structure invites players to return after each level, interact with the Observer, and choose their next path through dread. This mechanic not only emphasizes narrative choice, but also subtly critiques personal trauma, allowing players to engage with darker memories while exploring a beautifully oppressive environment.
