About Finnish Inheritance
Finnish Inheritance is a first-person adventure game that mixes exploration with eerie mystery. Developed by Wöyhö Production and released in 2025, it casts you as a relative returning to a remote Finnish farmhouse to settle a will. The game leans into slow-burn storytelling, asking you to piece together family secrets through scattered letters, cryptic symbols, and unsettling environmental details. Set in a decaying rural estate, it uses sparse dialogue and atmospheric tension to hint at something unnatural lurking beneath the surface. The PC-only title plays like a haunted house simulator, where every creak and shadow feels deliberate. If you like figuring out puzzles in oppressive settings, this one’s a deliberate, if divisive, pick.
Gameplay
You spend most of the game navigating the grandparent’s large but claustrophobic home, cataloging objects, and decoding clues. Controls are simple, mouse and keyboard for movement and interaction, but the pace is methodical, often requiring you to backtrack through dimly lit rooms to find overlooked details. The core loop revolves around piecing together a family history through diaries, photos, and strange artifacts, while environmental hazards like collapsing floors and sudden noises keep tension high. Puzzles are light but logic-based, often involving rearranging items or aligning symbols. There’s no combat or combat options; the threat is psychological. Sessions often end with you staring at a wall of half-solved mysteries, wondering if you’re missing a key clue. The game rewards patience but penalizes impatience with its slow, repetitive exploration.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 82%, but critics gave it a 7.4/10. Average playtime is 12.5 hours, with 38% of players finishing the game, lower than most adventures. Moods are split: 62% call it “spooky but tedious,” 28% praise its “haunting atmosphere,” and 10% call it “overly punishing.” Community reviews highlight the unsettling visuals but complain about unclear objectives and repetitive item collection. One user wrote, “The silence is spooky, but I spent 2 hours finding a misplaced matchbox.” Others praise the lore’s depth, though completion rates suggest many give up. Achievement data shows 40 unlocks, with 22% of players hitting 100% (average 68%).
PlayPile's Take
Finnish Inheritance is a niche pick for those who love spooky settings and slow reveals. At $29.99, it’s a mid-budget bet with a polarizing mix of atmosphere and tedium. The 40 achievements add replay value, but the 38% completion rate shows it’s not for everyone. If you enjoy figuring out cryptic stories without fast action, the eerie Finnish farmhouse is worth the slow walk through its halls. Skip it if you hate backtracking or unclear goals. The game’s strength is its vibe, but its weakness is its pacing, perfect for a rainy night, not for casual play.
