## About This Game
Solve cryptic puzzles, embrace or evade vengeful specters, decide who to trust
and unravel a mystery.
Ancra is a narrative driven, puzzle-horror game. Explore the home of a dying
photographer, and solve puzzles to access new areas.
Encounter strange, conflicting beings and discover a haunting story, piece by
piece. Try to understand why you are here, who you are and what role you play
in their story.
## Features:
* Classic, survival horror style puzzles.
* Open level design, multiple routes and supported sequence breaking.
* Gaining knowledge and information is as important as items and progression.
* Obtuse objectives and consequences.
* Unreliable sources of information and conflicting interests of characters.
* An atmospheric, dynamic environment that alters itself as you progress.
* Multiple endings, with many small variations.
* Secret unlockables, such as a Randomiser Mode.
* A mystery that unravels in layers, and a true story hidden deep within the game.
The photographer’s house lies empty, its blood still.
Before it stands a figure.
The house beckons.
Lights within flicker to life. Spirits stir at her return.
An Ancra is only complete when it is understood.
It requires both Vessel and victim.
Whose remains shall you cast to flames?
The book of the Serpent shall be your guide.
And the final page remains unwritten.
## Additional Notes:
* Have a pen and paper on hand, take notes.
* Save often, perhaps with multiple files.
## Mature Content Description
The developers describe the content like this:
Ancra’s story deals with themes of death and loss. Violence is eluded to,
but rarely encountered in-game and is never portrayed in an overly graphic
fashion.
Death of a loved one and mortality are themes central to the plot. Alcohol
abuse may be mentioned in passing.
The game also features images of crime-scene photography. These photos are not
real and were staged specifically for this game.
