The Other Half

About

The Other Half is a dark fantasy action RPG set in a frostbitten world figuring out from demonic corruption. You play a Demon Hunter tracking a distress call to a remote mountain, where a decaying village hides secrets buried beneath layers of violence and forbidden love. Combat mixes melee strikes and ranged attacks with environmental puzzles, but the game’s heart lies in its story-driven exploration. Every location feels steeped in tragedy, with fragmented logs and eerie encounters piecing together a fractured past. This 2018 indie title stands out for its haunting atmosphere and emotional weight. Reviews noted its bold narrative choices, blending body horror with intimate character drama in ways that feel both unsettling and poetic. While the action loop can feel repetitive, the writing and setting earn praise for their ambition, with some calling it a standout entry in smaller-scale RPGs. Its mix of bleak visuals and visceral storytelling lingers longer than many bigger-budget efforts.

Storyline

"A Demon Hunter receives a letter from Daniel, a man begging for help against a demonic infestation from the mountain that he calls home. The Hunter, in a search for him through the cold and abandoned world, will discover a twisted tale of intimacy and violence of the past, and must use that knowledge to purge the demons from the once-beautiful land."
