A new psychological thriller horror game is headed to Steam in just two months. What Happened, a game from Unreal and the new studio Genius Slackers, is a first-person experience of a young teenager suffering from anxiety and depression.
The player is responsible for the main character Stiles, whose dark and twisted mind is yours to explore. Empathy, however, is key to ensure that Stiles doesn't fall apart as his mind is rather fragile from his suffering.
Gamers must solve environmental puzzles to advance through the terrifying corridors of Stiles' distorted subconcious, which is showcased in the trailer below. Your actions in the title and empathy for Stiles will effect the outcome of the game.
