River God: Enshrouded Current

About

You play as a wanderer in a village slowly figuring out at its seams. The air reeks of old magic and rot as you piece together why every stone here feels cursed. A priest’s forgotten sins bleed into the land through cryptic mechanisms and decaying shrines. Solve environmental puzzles to peel back layers of ritual and betrayal. The village itself acts like a character, shifting between reality and something thinner, hungrier. The game leans into its eerie atmosphere harder than most, letting silence and strange symbols do the heavy lifting. Its 50-something hour runtime stretches thin in places, but the final act ties the village’s fate to the priest’s hubris in a way that sticks. A small handful of players on forums call it "the most haunting thing they’ve played all year." Not quite horror, not quite mystery, just uneasy.
