White Heaven

About

White Heaven is a canceled adventure game set in an old, deserted hotel in the Italian Alps. Players follow Eric Blanc, a kidnapped wealthy man who finds his cell door open and decides to escape, determined to rescue Linda, a captor he's grown close to. The story weaves through the hotel's dark corridors as Eric searches for Linda while evading threats lurking in the shadows. The game introduced three playable characters and featured chase sequences, a departure from the developer's previous work. Built with Unreal Engine 4, it aimed for detailed environments and lighting effects to enhance the tense atmosphere. Developers canceled the project in 2020, explaining the narrative felt "too much, too soon" and risked muddying the original Anna's themes. Early builds showed ambitious gameplay, but the team reconsidered the story's complexity. Though unfinished, the game's attempt to expand its universe and experiment with new mechanics left a mark among fans. The decision to scrap it reflects a focus on maintaining the core elements that made the first game stand out.
