The Kharzov Effect

1985. Your friend never came home.

Billy's bike is at the gates. Something moves beyond the fog. You go in anyway.

A Horror Puzzle Built From the Inside Out.

There are no weapons. There is only hiding, running, and thinking.

Designed by escape-room enthusiasts and mystery obsessives, The Kharzov Effect is a

first-person horror puzzle set at the fog-drenched Oregon estate of Dr. Kharzov.

First-person stealth horror — navigate the grounds without a weapon. Your only tools are your wits, your patience, and the shadows.

Monsters with distinct detection — some see you. Some hear you. Some feel you. Learn how each one hunts, or don't survive.

Escape-room-style environmental puzzles — every locked door, every sealed room has an answer hidden in the world around you. No hand-holding.

Atmospheric environments — a world designed to keep you guessing. BTW, do you like analog horror?

Period-accurate details from the 80's — before the internet. Before mobile phones. Before anyone would believe you. Just you, the dark, and whatever Kharzov built in there.

Layered narrative mystery — the puzzles are part of the story. The deeper you go, the bigger the lore.

Meta gaming & ARG-inspired mystery — a hidden thread built entirely

from easter eggs that transcends the game itself. Find it if you can.
