About TRAFFIC
TRAFFIC is a fictional story inspired by my own personal experiences, various news articles, statistics, and national incidents that remain unexplained.
TRAFFIC is a First-Person Psychological Horror game about a troubled child in a home where he must deal with both internal and external stresses. You will communicate with your parents, do your chores, and stay out of the way.
Secure the front gate and lock your doors. You never know who might be out there.
TRAFFIC is about a family living in Wyoming as they traverse through the economic recession of 2008. You play as the single child in a family of three, along with your Mother and Father.
Experience the gut-wrenching tension and horrifying story of TRAFFIC as you make your way through the days, doing whatever you can to take your mind off of the traumatic events occurring.
Piece the story together as you notice tiny details within the dialogue and environments.

Set in Wyoming during the financial recession of 2008, the game follows a young child living in a troubled household where everyday life slowly gives way to feelings of paranoia and dread. Drawing inspiration from real experiences, documented events, and unsettling stories, the narrative aims to create horror through believable situations instead of relying solely on supernatural elements. This grounded premise immediately separates the game from more traditional horror titles, giving it a distinctly intimate and emotionally charged atmosphere. The gameplay revolves around exploration and interaction within the family home, where players complete simple daily responsibilities while uncovering clues about the unsettling reality surrounding them.
