Within These Walls is a first-person, psychological horror game that invites players to question their reality. Playing as Jordan, the player will be guided through an abandoned Victorian manor where they must piece together the truth of the past that has haunted their family. The manor has many secrets for you to discover – the information you find about the past has the power to influence the present by altering how Jordan understands what happened to their grandparents and how they perceive what’s happening to them now. Are the strange happenings all in their head? Or is the old Cromwell Manor truly haunted? It’s up to you to decide.
As Jordan, you will navigate the old manor, searching for answers. You are armed only with a flashlight and your trusty camera to record what you find.
The player will be able to collect documents, photos, and artifacts as you move through the house and use what you see, hear, and read to decide the truth about what happened 40 years ago… and what’s happening to you right now.

The artifacts you uncover and how you react to the events happening around you will alter the gameplay experience. Finding evidence that points towards the supernatural and reacting to in-game events with fear and hesitation will create a vicious cycle that creates, even more, scares for you and Jordan; conversely, finding artifacts that provide explanations and keeping calm will make exploring the house a little less harrowing.
