Pilgrim

About

Pilgrim is a surreal, story-driven RPG set in a creepy, dreamlike castle where you play as Akemi, a schoolgirl searching for her missing sister. After a mysterious girl named Alice abducts her sibling, Akemi enters an Other World filled with bizarre monsters and shifting environments. You navigate seven Storeys of puzzles and combat, aided by a strange undead companion named Suu. The game blends exploration with turn-based battles and environmental challenges, often twisting logic and expectations. The title stands out for its eerie atmosphere and unsettling art style, which leans into body horror and abstract design. While short on combat depth, its strength lies in disorienting set pieces and a narrative that leans heavily into family tension and cosmic dread. Fans of niche horror games with strong visual identity might find it memorable, though its rough edges and minimal polish could deter some players.
