Reveil: The Circus of Nightmares

5 March 2024

Under the faded canvas of a forgotten big top, a chilling tale of loss and madness unfurls. Reveil, a psychological horror experience from Pixelsplit, invites you to step into the tattered shoes of Walter Thompson – a haunted man driven by the echoes of a forgotten past and the desperate search for his lost family.

Once a builder of dreams, Walter built a world of wonder under the big top. But the laughter has long since faded, the joyful colors tarnished by tragedy. As you follow Walter's desperate search, you'll descend into a world where memories twist and turn, blurring the lines between reality and nightmarish delusion.

Reveil masterfully transforms the traditional circus setting into a vessel of uncanny horror:

Nostalgia Turned Nightmare: The familiar sights and sounds of the circus become distorted. Carousel horses leer with unsettling grins, the faded tent canvas whispers secrets, and the lingering scent of popcorn mingles with something far less pleasant.
Mind-Bending Puzzles: Expect a world where logic unravels. Solve surreal puzzles that challenge your perception of reality, mirroring Walter's own fracturing psyche.
Psychedelic Terror: Vivid colors clash with creeping shadows. Disturbing visions warp the environment, leaving you questioning what is real and what is a terrifying manifestation of Walter's guilt and despair.
The Fear of the Unknown: Why did tragedy strike this once-vibrant circus? What secrets lie hidden within Walter's tormented mind? The answers are buried under layers of trauma and unsettling revelations.
And of course, the most chilling question of all hangs in the air, echoing through the abandoned big top: why must it always be clowns? Reveil confronts a primal, unsettling fear, turning a place once synonymous with joy into a stage for profound psychological horror.

Reveil promises an unforgettable journey into the depths of a damaged mind. Prepare to be disturbed, unsettled, and left questioning the very nature of reality itself.
