An t-Slighe Dìomhair
Initial release for spooktober 2025. There's more to come!
A psychological horror visual novel rooted in Scottish folklore.
An t-Slighe Dìomhair (The Secret Path) is a dark, introspective visual novel that blends psychological horror, loneliness, and supernatural tension with a narrative steeped in Celtic myth. Choose to play as Cedric (he/him) or Eris (she/her), and unravel a branching story where every choice deepens your connection, or unravels it completely.
Choose to play as Cedric (he/him), burdened by grief, or Eris (she/her), haunted by expectation. Each path refracts the forest’s horrors through a different lens of loneliness.
Will you follow the path? Or will the forest take you first?

Very interesting! if only I could download it for Mac...
Hihi, we’re planning to create downloadable version when we make our updates with music and audio and an extension to the story though, so keep an eye out!
The web build should work for folks on any OS for now though ✨
Oh my god, the visuals are stunning! The story is so immersive and the atmosphere is incredible.
