A downloadable game for Windows

You Left Us plunges players into the chilling solitude of an American Cold War spy at a fictional remote arctic listening post in Greenland, helplessly tuning into the world's spreading descent into apocalypse. This psychological horror uniquely intertwines isolation, the unseen terror of an expanding global calamity through audio narratives, and the unraveling of the protagonist's sanity. Its promise lies in the immersive atmosphere, the fear of the unknown, and how insanity can proliferate when ultimately powerless, offering a deeply engaging and unsettling experience.

 The objective of You Left Us is to complete tasks around the communications base. Players should experience a feeling of dread and anxiety while questioning their surroundings and what they are truly up against. They will primarily be navigating the claustrophobic hallways and crannies of the station to accomplish their tasks and unfold the narrative. The art style and atmosphere will leave an endearing sense of fear in players. Or at least we hope! 

We're excited to present our first Game Jam creation and the debut game for everyone on our team, crafted entirely in UE5.1. We hope you enjoy it!

wow, this was intense! And the whole base feels surprisingly big and well furnished for a jam game :)

I genuinely found myself invested in this game and loving the use of different tools throughout it (radio, light-up board, etc.).


Great, unique game!

Personally, I am always a fan when one or many creative individuals band together and produce a piece of art, especially an interactive experience. But, a video game always turns out better when created with love! So good news, because this title, "You Left Us" was very obviously created with a lot of love behind it! 

*smiles* 

some might say, too much.

This is a very well made game. I truly got scared when the lights when out and I thought there were things in the base.

Super awesome game, really hope it gets the attention it deserves. I love horror games, especially with the PS1 kind of graphics style. Hope to see more from the makers! The lantern was annoying though not going to lie... Great job to the people who made it though!

I LOVED this. Excellent narrative that really brought feelings of isolation and hopelessness. I loved that the game didn't rely on cheap scares and really played into the creepiness and unease over anything else. 

My only complaint is that the game is far too dark without the lantern in most areas. I think it would have been a lot more effective to have a well lit bunker void of life where the lantern is only needed on a rare occasion. Sending the player into the darkness is a lot less creepy when every area is dark.

This game left me shaking in my boots! Without giving anything away it was the perfect balance of mystery and horror. Definitely recommend sharing this one with your friends! I’m eager to see what these folks make next.
