Trailer Revealed For Lovecraftian Tabletop-Inspired PC Game THE HORROR AT HIGHROOK

The trailer has been launched for Nullpointer Games’ horror themed PC video game The Horror at Highrook, which is set to release on 1st May 2025 via Steam and will be Steam Deck compatible

A cunning puzzle box of a title, The Horror at Highrook defies genre conventions to deliver a darkly gothic and enrapturing experience in which players lead a team of occult investigators into the dark maw of Highrook Manor in search of the Ackerons – a noble family, who following rumours of dark pacts and shadowy rituals, have now vanished without a trace.

As players explore the haunted estate grounds – cutting their own path through the darkness – they will summon dark entities and craft powerful protections in a bid to uncover the fate of the missing family.

Highrook offers deeply rewarding and puzzling tabletop inspired gameplay, tactile card manipulation, and an engrossing, enigmatic gothic-horror narrative. As the dark manor begins to unravel its secrets, its dark heart is brought to life with bold, eye-catching illustrations and satisfyingly tactile animations.
