Welcome to The Horror at Highrook
Nullpointer Games has officially launched The Horror at Highrook, a digital narrative RPG blending card-crafting mechanics with occult investigation, now available on PC via Steam. Priced at £15.49 / $19.99 / €18.49, the game is currently offering a 10% launch discount for early adopters during its first two weeks. It also debuts as part of this year’s LudoNarraCon festival, running through May 5.
Set within the decaying halls of the mysterious Highrook Manor, the game invites players to guide a group of occult investigators into a gothic nightmare. With sanity fraying at the edges, these characters confront arcane forces and dark secrets as they unravel the fate of the vanished Ackeron family, rumored to have made sinister pacts before disappearing.
The Horror at Highrook draws inspiration from gothic fiction, classic cosmic horror, and tactile board game traditions. Its distinct visual style, atmospheric animations, and puzzlebox design create the feeling of a long-lost tabletop game brought chillingly to life. The launch trailer sets the tone with a brooding, cinematic look at the manor and its cursed inhabitants.
Players must craft protective spells, summon terrifying entities, and manage their team’s fragile grasp on reality. All while navigating a branching narrative that rewards strategic thinking and exploration. With a card-driven system that emphasizes tactile interaction and a story that slowly unfolds in eerie detail, The Horror at Highrook promises an unsettling and memorable journey into darkness.
Now available, it invites the brave to step across the threshold if they dare.
