About Lola Maria
Lola Maria is a first-person psychological horror title from Kallim Studio that drops you into a decaying family home where ordinary life twists into something sinister. Released October 11 2025 for PC it tasks you with navigating a grandmother’s crumbling house while uncovering buried family secrets. The game thrives on unease using familiar domestic settings to mask supernatural dread. You’ll explore tight hallways flickering lights and cryptic journals as the line between reality and memory warps. It’s a slow-burn story about inherited trauma told through eerie environmental storytelling and fragmented dialogue.
Gameplay
The game revolves around methodical exploration and piecing together a fractured narrative. You wander rooms searching for clues in old letters and hidden compartments while avoiding fleeting supernatural threats. Puzzles are minimal but rely on context clues from your surroundings, like restoring power by finding a fuse box or deciphering a symbol etched into a wall. Tension builds through audio cues like distant whispers and sudden silence. There’s no combat just the constant sense of being watched. Controls prioritize precision over speed making every movement feel deliberate. The camera often feels claustrophobic emphasizing narrow spaces and distorted angles to amplify disorientation.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 93% based on 3500 reviews with an average score of 8.4. Most players finish it in 6 hours though 23% complete all 100 achievements.

Reviews highlight the “creepy atmosphere” and “unpredictable twists” while critics note some scenes feel “overly abstract.” The game’s replayability is low with 72% of players logging just one session. Positive feedback clusters around the final act which 65% call “emotionally jarring.”
PlayPile's Take
Lola Maria works best for fans of atmospheric horror who don’t mind a plodding pace. At $29.99 it’s a short but dense experience with 100 achievements focused on exploration and narrative unlocks. The first half is tighter and more effective than the abstract middle section. If you’re willing to tolerate a slow reveal and enjoy dissecting cryptic dialogue this is a worthwhile $30. Completionists will appreciate the final 20% which sharpens the story’s emotional impact. Not for those seeking action but a strong choice for horror that lingers.
