Set in New Zealand during the late 1990s, CORPOREAL is a haunting, photographic puzzle game which sees players piece together a cursed photo-album as they unravel the mystery of the unexplained events that left them as the sole surviving member of their family tree.
 

Players will search for answers in an archive of photographs rescued from the ruins of their childhood home; only by using the album to manipulate the past will they be able to chart their ill-fated family history - encountering a number of tragic, doomed spectres in the process.
 

CORPOREAL will envelop players in a dark and enigmatic narrative with its tactile analog-inspired puzzles and interactions, while naturalistic live-action photography brings a stunning degree of documentarian verisimilitude to the chillingly atmospheric presentation.
 

CORPOREAL Features

  • Unravel a mystery set in late-90s New Zealand captured with live-action photography.

  • Navigate a series of immersive retro analog interfaces.

  • Manipulate photographs in tactile, minimalist puzzles, where you combine images of the past to create new scenes.

  • Solve nonlinear puzzles, alter the narrative and discover hidden secrets and spectres.


CORPOREAL is now available to wishlist via Steam. For more information and development updates, please visit the official Cold Out Interactive website, or follow on Twitter and Bluesky.
