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?
