About Arkhangel: The House of the Seven Stars
Michael, Lily, and Gabrielle have recently moved to the frigid town of Haven under tragic circumstances. As they begin to rebuild their lives in this new home and meet the townsfolk of Haven, they quickly discover that not everything is what it appears to be. Michael struggles with dreams of dark waters and an unknown ancient evil resting beneath the cold waves. Are these simply dreams or are they a premonition of things to come?
Inspired by the classic point & click adventure games of yesteryear, Arkhangel: The House of the Seven Stars is a story told through the eyes of a family that has recently moved to an isolated town in the frozen wilderness. Explore, unearth dark mysteries, solve puzzles, engross yourself with deep lore, and interact with a large cast of characters in this rich and layered narrative.
WINTER NIGHT GAMES was borne from the collective imagination of two dorky brothers. A lifelong interest in video games, pen & paper role playing games, and horror stories compelled us to start our own company, where we make the kind of games we like to play and telling the stories we like to tell. WNG came out of what started as a collaborative effort to write a horror novella. While iterating and fleshing out the structure of the story, it became apparent this story would lend itself to being told within the medium of an adventure game. A larger framework was then conceived, which could support an overarching story that could be told through various gaming media, both digital and analog.
A SPECIAL NOTE FROM THE DEVELOPER:
While there isn't overt gore or on-screen violence in Arkhangel, there is subject matter and imagery that some might find disturbing. This is a mature game experience.

Review after 100% ♡♡♡ small budget indie game. It got promise, but so clunky controls. Im thorn between thumbing up or down. Feels like im the emperor in a Gladiator movie and I stand there, live or die! I will say for a free game this is a thumb up as long as your willing to live with the clunky controls but lets face it. I have over 19K free games on Steam, most of them have clunky controls because this is not a heavily polished game. If this was a pay game, I would say thumb down. I can see the work the devs have poured into this game and I dont want my review to reflect little their effort in making this game. Please continue making games but understand that players like myself have over 19K free games on steam, im not saying that as a flex, but its not enough to release a free game on Steam and let the players work around your clunky controls. ⣴⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣼⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣤⣶⣶⣿⣿⡗ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃ ⣿⣿⡇⠜⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀Got a cat here ⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⡹⠙⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ Friends passing ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⠛⠀⠀by can touch her ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⠁⠀⠀and click Like to pet ♡ ⣿⣿⡿⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠹⠑⠀⠀ Award for good luck, Take My Points for infinite pets ♡ ⠟⠁⠀1 found this helpful
What an absolutely wonderful game. I really enjoy story rich games and this one hit the spot perfectly. Extremely impressed with this game and the creators should be really proud of themselves!1 found this helpful
great game, puzzles were cool and all the lore was awesome. good job,
This is an amazing game! Lots of gameplay, mystery, and beautiful art.
I don't have the heart to give a free indie adventure game a bad review, but be aware that it has some bugs and the controls are messy. Sometimes the point and click interface doesn't work and the camera movement - when change angle - is weird. Also, it need to set the controls to "mouse and keyboard" before start, since its not the default. But it has a good story, and this is the most important for an adventure game.
Игра "Arkhangel: The House of the Seven Stars" — это атмосферное приключение с элементами мистики и головоломок. Сюжет разворачивается вокруг таинственного дома, где каждый этаж скрывает загадки, связанные с семьёй Аркхенгела. Графика стильная, с минималистичным дизайном, а звуковое сопровождение усиливает напряжение. Особенно понравились динамичные сцены борьбы и исследование локаций. Однако некоторые головоломки могут показаться сложными без подсказок. Рекомендую тем, кто ценит атмосферные истории и интеллектуальные вызовы.
