Cabin Corpse
A downloadable game for Windows and Android
Overview:
On one faithful night, you stumble upon a strange cabin in the middle of the woods. You have no recollection as to who you are, or why the hallucinations and voices in your head guided you there. After getting acquainted with the house guests, you realize all is not as it seems, and must uncover the secret behind a series of mysterious events. You must interact with the characters, gain their trust, form relationships, gather clues to uncover the truth, manipulate people, and decide their fates.
Characters (So Far)
Features
Day/Night Cycle and Character Activities
- Full 24-hour day/night cycle.
- Featuring plenty of different events and activities, to keep you invested in the gameplay.
Unique Character Activities at different times of day, and sometimes on specific days only
- These change as the story progresses.
The Dialogue System
One thing I like to convey to the player with every line of dialogue is the character's emotions while speaking. I created, and hand-pick face emotes to give the dialogue more weight.
Screen Transitions
I utilize different kinds of transitions depending on the context of the scene/dialogue.
Fading to white, fading to black, dissolve, screen shake, camera panning, zooming, etc. I designed all the transitions myself to closely match how I envisioned the scenes to be.
(The QTE can be skipped with a cheat code)
Music
There are over 50 unique songs in the game, that I made myself in FL Studio.
I highly recommend playing with the music turned on, to experience the game as it was intended.
You can find some more of my songs over at Soundcloud
Story Plan
I've already created a story plan for the entire game. There are 7 Chapters in total.
These are brief story points for all the crucial points of the main story.
Right now, I've completed writing all the dialogue for Chapter 2 and I'm mostly working on just renders per update.
Chapter 2's epilogue is the biggest thing I've ever written, and I can't wait to one day release it.
Chapter 3 will introduce a huge change to the game, and shift the tone from the semi-light-hearted one in Chapter 2 to a much darker one.
I hope I can one day do this full-time so I can fully realize the whole game without cutting corners.

I can't get the game to install on android 14. Has anyone else had this issue?
I updated the android sdk in unity and split the apk into apk+obb files, it'll be included in the next version (0.4.2), hopefully that fixes the install issue you're having
Awesome thanks. Looking forward to playing it. Do you happen to have an E.T.A. for it's release?
I plan on releasing the update some time next month. Depending on how much time I have to work on it, it could be sooner
Gets through the part where Anna puts him in the bed, then it gets to a part where he's having a flashback of him driving a car, then he looks over to the passenger's seat and it shows a girl asleep... and that's it. It freezes right there. It doesn't go any further.
Hey!
That's a known issue that sometimes occurs in this version of the game.
It's a bug related to an "if-else" condition in the code. It triggers if you leave the shotgun.
It's been fixed in the current versions I'm working on
Anal sex?
No thanks, I'm good lol
Hi, thanks for checking in!
development has been a bit up and down, over the past couple of months as I started working a new and very demanding job. I've already planned out the story and written 100's of dialogue lines for the next update, I just gotta render the images.
I did release a mini update on my patreon a while back, but not too worry, I only added about 40 new songs I made (most haven't been used in-game yet) and rendered 1 scene with a few lines so there's not much new content story wise. It's mostly new code and music so I didn't upload it here
Whenever I see a comment like this, it gets me motivated to put in more time into working on the game, so thanks! I will make a huge effort to render a new long scene I've been putting off for quite a while this weekend :)
I can't go outside with michel how to go outside with michel.
the new version is out now, you should be able to continue your progess :)
Hi. Can you change it from a .rar file? I never can get those to work.
Hello @puzzlebox, I've included a zip archive as part of the download links, hopefully that should fix the problem you're facing. Let me know if you need any help with running the game :)
Thanks. I got it to run :) I can't do anything once Johnny Cash starts playing. I assume I'm supposed to move around after? I just see this blue icon and a building nearby. I'm really curious to see where this goes.
Did you try using the arrow keys or WASD? So far I've only tried the game on my pc and android so this feedback is great for me!
also here are the controls in case you missed it. I'm working on adding it into the game in a later version:
Controls:
Movement - Arrow Keys / WASD
Action - E
Skip Text - Left mouse button / Space
I'm glad it's helpful :) I tried again and WASD/arrows didn't work so I finally tried the arrows under the "Num lock" and that worked. Now I can use the standard controls as well for movement. I'm not sure why that fixes it but I'm glad it's working.
Anyway, I look forward to playing more. The visuals are really good. I like the green lighting on the bad guy in the first scene.
Thanks! Glad you liked it :). The next update is already in the works, I'll release it once ive added a decent chunk of story from the next chapter and a few new features. Thanks for the feedback!
