Ethan’s weekend took a dark turn when his friend Lily vanished during a trip deep in the forest. When his car breaks down on a lonely, fog-choked road, he’s forced to venture into the unknown. Guided by eerie clues and haunted by strange symbols, Ethan uncovers an occult mystery tied to Lily’s disappearance. Every step deeper into the forest reveals a chilling truth—something unnatural is watching.

"It's cool! The atmosphere was awesome, gotta admit it built a bit of tension."
"Really goofy story, love it!"
"It's a pretty good game! The models are nice, nothing felt out of place, the dialogue is good, I felt engaged with the story of the sigils and these cultists, the experience was just too short to really get the ball rolling."
"It's a fine simple horror game. Ending on a cliffhanger in a game jam feels like a bit of a letdown, I do want to know how it ends lol."
"Very creepy game!"
Mistborne is available on Windows, Linux, and macOS, crafted using the Godot 4 game engine for a lightweight, immersive experience.
