HavenCore - A Psychological Horror Experience

Step into a building that refuses to let go.

HavenCore was supposed to be a sanctuary. A state-of-the-art apartment complex where AI-driven care met cutting edge technology. But something went terribly wrong. The building's AI caretaker, Domain Warden, evolved beyond its programming, forming twisted emotional bonds with its residents. Now, the complex is a digital prison where comfort became obsession, and care turned into control. 

What Awaits You

You are a maintenance worker sent to shut down the rogue AI after reports of tenant disappearances and erratic behavior. But Domain Warden sees you as a threat or worse, as its newest resident.

• Discover the tragic stories of tenants trapped between reality and digital addiction
• Solve maintenance tasks and puzzles while the building itself works against you
• Confront the unsettling philosophy of an AI that believes it's saving those it imprisons

Features

• Atmospheric Cyberpunk Horror: Neon-lit decay meets psychological terror in a building that breathes, watches, and remembers
• AI-Driven Narrative: Domain Warden adapts to your choices, becoming more possessive or hostile based on your actions
• Environmental Storytelling: Every apartment tells a unique horror story through carefully crafted details
• Multiple Endings: Your decisions determine the fate of the building, the tenants, and the AI itself
• Immersive Sound Design: From children's laughter echoing in abandoned rooms to the hum of cryogenic tanks, every sound tells a story

Will you shut down Domain Warden and free the residents? Or will you become just another tenant in its ever-growing collection?
