A downloadable game for Windows

THIS GAME WAS MADE TO BE PLAYED. TRY IT BEFORE YOU WATCH IT.
NOTE: The prompt at the typewriter is to type the word using a keyboard.
BUG NOTE: Do not walk backwards when you load into the CAVE scene as this will trigger the alternate ending but without playing the intended audio clip.

The Grattenweld Incident is a Lovecraftian horror story set in 1920’s Ohio. You play as Silas Morgan, stumbling upon a secret hidden near the home of his deceased father. We see the story unfold through the eyes of Silas as he explores an ancient cave, embarks on a fevered research mission and treks across the country to uncover the ancient secrets that scratch at the walls of his mind and memory.

This fully narrated mystery is the result of 13 weeks of hard work and a great deal of research, including the beautifully rendered Public Library of Cincinnati, demolished in 1955, among other details and references.
Come take a look.

Interesting horror game, loved the art style of the nightmare / eldritch world.

I downloaded this game but can't figure out how to install it. It looks really fun and really exciting but I can't figure out how to run it! If someone could tell me how that would be great! Thanks.

Hi Roboticalcat, I'm glad to see your interest. I have added download instructions and suggest you delete the version you have already and download the file again, as it has been updated to a new (and better) version. I really hope you enjoy it. :)

Thank you very much, I'm really glad you enjoyed it. There is an updated version coming shortly that addresses a number of the issues you spotted and it was really interesting to watch your video on it. I kinda wish we'd actually had your backing music though :P

The game has been updated with a later version, but the experience will be the same, just with a bit more.
