About Serena

✦ AI summary

Serena is a point-and-click adventure where you uncover the dark truth behind your wife's disappearance through exploration and investigation in an isolated cabin. This collaborative passion project from dozens of indie adventure game veterans weaves an atmospheric horror story with outstanding voice acting and a deeply disturbing narrative that challenges both puzzle-solving and nerve.

How long has it been? A man sits in a distant getaway cabin waiting for his wife Serena. Where is she? Things in the cabin evoke memories, and the husband comes to a disturbing realization...

This short point-and-click adventure is the result of a massive collaborative effort between dozens of fans and designers of adventure games. Rallying to support the venerable genre and its passionate community, these developers have brought together a grim and highly detailed horror story in what is the largest, possibly even the first, game project of its kind. Talents include crew from renowned indie companies Senscape, CBE Software, Infamous Quests, Digital Media Workshop, Guys from Andromeda, and many more.

I thought *Serena* was just another short point-and-click game with a mysterious story and some creepy atmosphere. I was wrong. The graphics are simple. The gameplay is simple. You mostly sit in one place, look around, and interact with whatever you can find. That's basically it. And somehow, the game makes that tiny space feel heavier and heavier the longer you stay there. At first, you're just curious. You look at objects. You read descriptions. You listen to Serena talk. Then the little details start adding up. You begin to realize that you're not simply exploring a room. You're uncovering a memory. What I love most is how *Serena* doesn't need constant scares or complicated puzzles to keep you interested.

I've played games with bigger worlds, longer stories, and far more complicated mechanics. I don't remember most of them. I'll remember *Serena*.

Definitely worth your time. It's a slow burn but good news is that it is short. Can't really say much other than "just play it!".

I like this game. I like the development it has through the game of the descriptions, and of emotions. And for me it does a good job of telling a story. I enjoyed it and it will linger in my memory, and that's all that matters for a game.
