Terra Vista

Modern Cosmic Horror

Life as it should be. Almost perfect. In the quiet hum of modern life, something is stirring. The world you know"”of smartphones and coffee shops"”is merely a thin veneer over an ancient, incomprehensible reality.

Reality Unraveling

The fabric of existence is fraying. Through the cracks, the truly weird is beginning to seep in. Impossible whispers from the shadows of your living room. Logic fails. The most terrifying truths are those that unravel your very sanity.

You are ordinary people with everyday jobs who stumble upon inexplicable events and cosmic horrors. The game emphasizes psychological dread, investigation, and the personal cost of confronting the incomprehensible. As the mundane turns sinister, will you seek answers, fight for your sanity, or simply try to survive?
