About The Sixth Sorrow

The Sixth Sorrow is a narrative-driven horror game where you investigate the unsettling mysteries plaguing your family home after a tragic accident, uncovering dark secrets through exploration and dialogue choices. With retro-inspired aesthetics, branching storylines that lead to multiple endings, and puzzles woven into the mystery, it delivers a deeply atmospheric exploration of grief and family trauma.

“And a sword will pierce your own soul also.”

Things haven't felt right since the accident. Your mother's passive aggression, your father's refusal to speak, and strange things around the house... Are they unable to move on, or is something even more sinister lurking beneath the surface?

✦ AI summary

Players appreciate the atmospheric PS1-style presentation and visible developer effort in this free experience, with particular praise for the story and creepy ambiance. However, common criticisms include tedious maze-like underground sections that undermine the atmosphere, frustrating QTE mechanics with awkward timing windows, and a gameplay style that feels samey, with some noting that superior free alternatives exist in the same genre.

Worth a playthrough for the crunchy PS1 style and dev effort. However, there are better free games in the same vein like KryptaFM and Ignited Entry that are superior experiences

Really good game with a well done atmosphere and interesting story. The strawberry minigame is the true horror part of this game, very spooky. A well made free experience!
Not recommended Apr 18, 2026
its not a bad game but i also cant recommend it. i feel bad since free and theres clearly effort, but after a relatively strong start and some intrigue it turns into a maze game in samey underground corridors that might as well be a sewer. i was so deflated when i realized what was happening it just completely nuked the atmosphere for me.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
