I've been secretly developing this game for years. Now I'm revealing THE PACTMAKER, a supernatural thriller about pacts, altered memories, guilt and consequences.
Hey r/adventuregames!
It’s been a long journey, but I’m incredibly excited to finally share the first trailer and details for THE PACTMAKER.
You play as Edward Wolfe, a professor whose philosophy shatters when his 12-year-old daughter falls into a coma. Desperate, you cross the veil to invoke supernatural beings. What are you really willing to do for someone you love?

How it plays:
While it has classic point-and-click DNA at its core, you'll also forge alliances with these entities and receive supernatural arts. A major mechanic revolves around absorbing, exploring, and altering the memories of others to find clues and progress. I really wanted to explore the concept that memories are not the past. What someone remembers isn't necessarily objective reality, and this idea is deeply tied to both the gameplay and the story.
Your journey will take you from the dark academia vibes of Edinburgh, to a rural village split between religion and folklore in Ireland, and into a 2,000-year-old mystery within an Egyptian temple. It's a character-driven game where everyone matters. Every NPC you meet is hiding something, everyone has lost something... just like you.

As a solo dev coming out of hiding, every single wishlist helps the Steam algorithm notice the game, so it would mean the absolute world to me if you checked it out.
I’ll be hanging around in the comments! I'd love to hear what you think of the trailer and the premise, or answer any questions you have.
Thank you so much for reading. 🖤
