About

Those Who Dwell is a story-first psychological horror focused on isolation, atmosphere, and folklore. Light is your only hope as you explore deeper into a cursed cave system disturbed by those who dug too deep. Restore shrines, survive the dark, and uncover what became of Those Who Dwell.

Those Who Dwell is a slow-burn folk-horror descent where light is your only protection. Explore a cursed underground excavation, restore ancient shrines, and manage your fading lantern as something watches from the dark. Survival depends on exploration and ritual choices, not combat.
