Ritual Tides is an upcoming psychological survival horror game that combines intense horror with a realistic and unsettling atmosphere. The developers describe it as “Silent Hill meets rural England,” bringing together psychological terror and the eerie isolation of the British countryside 🔥
🔹 Story & Setting:
The game takes place on Hortus, a remote and mysterious British island. The protagonist is discovered unconscious on the island’s shore with no memory of how they arrived there. As they explore the island, they begin uncovering disturbing secrets hidden beneath its quiet surface.
Hortus is also home to a dangerous cult known as the Fallow Parish. The group follows strange rituals and beliefs, while terrifying creatures roam the island. Survival means staying alert and avoiding the dangers surrounding you.
🔹 Gameplay Features:
