A first-person survival horror set in a derelict abandoned military base in the Australian outback.
Maralinga
Maralinga is a single-player Australian Gothic Survival inspired by true events. A game that weaves archival discovery with survival: recover redacted memos, stitch together film reels, uncover what everyone else tried to hide, and survive creatures and contamination that still haunt the land.
This is Australian Gothic: a broken landscape where the land itself turns hostile, where every shadow holds menace, and where the secrets of the past refuse to stay buried.
You are invited into Maralinga — a story-first psychological-horror game that blends investigative gameplay with lived history. Explore wind-scoured ranges, recover weathered documents and film reels, and trigger memory flashbacks that reveal what governments tried to bury.
The most powerful part of Maralinga is this: every choice you make — every relic you recover, every conversation you record, every brush with the land’s creatures — is logged in your field journal. Piece by piece those entries become your testimony: a journalistic dossier you assemble and can present to the world.
Key Gameplay Features
Immersive gameplay: Vivid visuals and unsettling soundscapes pull you deep into an isolated Australian atomic wasteland.
Uncover the truth: Investigate hidden recordings and classified documents from the base’s secret past.
Through fractured time: Step into the bustling 1950s base, then return to its desolation, as visions of history and myth collide.
Solve, scavenge, survive: Decipher puzzles, collect scarce supplies, and craft what you need to fend off hostile wildlife and the wasteland itself.
The ones who remain: Meet the long-term residents of Maralinga—figures whose guidance may save you, or doom you.

“Songs have been written, legends have been told, but now it’s your turn to experience a place like no other because nothing stays hidden forever!”
