Found Footage Survival Horror Game ‘Kryva Hora’ Announced for 2025 [Teaser]

WOMBEX Games is dipping their toe into found footage Survival Horror gaming with their recently-announced title, Kryva Hora. Slated for a 2025 release on Steam, the game is set against the backdrop of the Chornobyl Disaster, but in a twist, has more than just the usual mutant horrors to deal with in your playthrough.

The story for Kryva Hora sounds like something out of The X-Files: after the events of the Chornobyl Disaster in 1986, the Soviet government didn’t want to publish anything about the accident, and the impact of the nuclear fallout. Fast forward to 1995, where a man named Jens has died in an apartment somewhere in Amsterdam. The man has no family members or anyone to collect his belongings. As the police investigate his death, a secret storage locker is discovered. Inside is a Soviet passport under the name of Jevgenij Alexandrov, and a camcorder with a disturbing recording made in the area close to Chornobyl.

The recording is of you, the player, having discovered the nuclear explosion has opened a portal to an alien world, with aliens having already arrived in Chernobyl. You are now on a mission to close the portal. To do so, you must survive the fields of Kryva Hora, and avoid the various mutants that now roam the area. Taking the microphone mechanic from A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead, you must remain silent, as any noise picked up by your microphone will attract your enemies. Or, if you’re smart, you could lure them in order to find a way to slip past them.

You could also try to shout and scare them away, though the results might not exactly be in your favour every time…
