E-Files
Released 29 October 2026 · PC · Action, Adventure, Indie
E-FILES — a psychological horror game in the style of the PS1 era, centered around a secret investigation, rituals, and the mysterious “Lists.” Explore dark locations, search for clues, solve puzzles, and avoid deadly traps. Fixed camera angles, retro graphics, and limited saves.
Story
E-FILES The internet remembers a lot. But some things were better left undiscovered. For years, “Redrum” was dismissed as just another creepy story from anonymous forums. Nonsense, an urban legend, someone’s twisted imagination. But after the release of the secret files, things started to look very different. E-FILES is a horror game inspired by the classics of the PlayStation 1 era. Low-poly graphics, grimy textures, screen interference, and fixed camera angles bring back the atmosphere of those iconic late-90s horror games. No one is going to hold your hand here. You’ll have to find clues, piece together what’s happening, and figure out where to go next on your own. And when you hear something behind you, all you can hope for is that you’re still fast enough to run. You’ll find yourself in places where politics, secret societies, and satanic rituals intertwine into a single disturbing story. Explore rooms, search for answers, solve puzzles, and watch every step — there could be a trap right around the corner. There are few save points. Plenty of mistakes. And the truth may be more terrifying than any monster. Do you really want to find out what the “Lists” were...
