What do you do if your child is on the verge of death? Why, contaminate them with a paranormal substance called the SorrowVirus, preventing from them passing into the afterlife. Wasn’t it obvious?

That’s what The Sorrowvirus: A Faceless Short Story is about. You play that child (actually a young man) named Wyatt Heyll. Stuck in purgatory, he should be able to heal from all his illnesses, but instead, he returns to our reality only for these ailments to return faster than before.

Key features in The Sorrowvirus: A Faceless Short Story includes:

  • Explore the circumstances of a young man’s endless cycle of death.
  • Discover changes in dialogue and difficulty as the game remembers previous runs.
  • Navigate highly detailed environments in a first-person perspective!
  • Solve challenging puzzles to find the answers you seek.
  • Immerse yourself with a hauntingly atmospheric soundtrack.
  • Release Wyatt from his torment by finding the one true path forward!

Eastasiasoft’s latest first-person puzzle game sounds pretty damn morbid, but having a look at the trailer, there is some beauty to it. And yes, I’m being somewhat shallow and gawping at the lovely visuals. Have a look for yourself:
