Borneo: A Jungle Nightmare

About

Borneo: A Jungle Nightmare puts you in the shoes of three people who just returned from a disastrous trip into the Borneo jungle. You play through scenes where Pierce Mayer, Jessica Aschermann, and Alessandro Urbani try to make sense of a cursed tape they brought back from their expedition. The story unfolds as an interactive horror graphic adventure directed by Ruggero Deodato. Your choices help determine how the group deals with the shock of what they witnessed while investigating the cannibalistic acts captured on film. The game stands out because it uses real footage and a gritty script to create a tense atmosphere right from the start. Community members who have tried this title often note how the non-linear storytelling keeps you guessing about what actually happened during the failed mission. It feels less like a standard visual novel and more like trying to piece together a true crime mystery where the truth is buried under layers of horror. The single player mode lets you focus entirely on figuring out the dark secrets of that expedition without needing to coordinate with others online.

Storyline

We are at the end of the 90s. Pierce Mayer is the owner of Bloody Disgusting, a "shock site" that makes splatter film publishing its main activity. In front of him, in his Chicago studio, are Jessica Aschermann, his historical collaborator and Alessandro Urbani, an Italian video-reporter, visibly shaken up. They have just returned from an expedition to Borneo that he financed, to retrieve from Josh Meyer, a friend of Alessandro's, a tape in which disgusting acts of cannibalism by a local tribe were filmed. But not everything went as planned...
