Confabulation (v1.1.3)

A familiar house becomes a hostile puzzle box in Confabulation, a first-person psychological horror game built around failing memory rather than cheap combat scares. You wake in your own home and quickly realize its rooms, furniture, and personal details no longer match the life you recall. The mood is tense and intimate, turning ordinary domestic spaces into unsettling evidence that your mind—or reality—is coming apart. Every discovery feeds a mystery about your identity and the events that leave you trapped in this distorted version of home.

The central task is careful observation: study each room, notice when an object is wrong, and use your camera to capture the discrepancy before it erodes your mental state. Photographing altered items restores them, while pills buy back precious stability and keys, environmental riddles, and locked areas steadily expand the house. Let too many changes linger and the hallucinations grow more aggressive, making it harder to distinguish genuine clues from manifestations of panic. Failure is severe because there are no mid-run saves; once sanity collapses, the attempt ends and you begin again.

Randomized object changes, puzzles, scares, and story fragments give each run a different rhythm, so success depends on learning the house instead of memorizing a fixed sequence. Normal mode gradually raises pressure, while Hard mode introduces more potential disruptions, tougher puzzles, and far less room for hesitation. The result feels like a smaller-scale blend of PT-style domestic dread and anomaly-spotting games, with a roguelite edge created by permadeath and changing layouts. It suits horror players who enjoy methodical investigation, repeated runs, and stressful decision-making more than those looking for action or a straightforward scripted ghost story.
