Kindawn: The Parish Remembers Steam metadata

Full game metadata

Short description

You return to your hometown in the Yakutia - a place that shaped you, broke you, and quietly waited. It is the early 2000s. The echoes of the post-Soviet crisis still ring in the walls of leaning wooden houses. In Kindawn, the permafrost preserves unresolved secrets of the past.

About this game

What is Kindawn? A first-person atmospheric horror exploration game. You play as an adult returning to the Siberian town where you grew up as an orphan. As you piece together fractured memories and uncover what happened in your absence, the line between folklore and nightmare begins to dissolve. The game is designed for a single playthrough of approximately 3-5 hours. Exploration Move freely through interconnected locations spanning farmsteads, abandoned Soviet-era buildings, and dense boreal wilderness. Every object and space holds environmental storytelling. Hidden details are never required - but always rewarded. Environmental puzzles Progress is gated by logic puzzles embedded in the world - combination locks, hidden mechanisms, and context clues drawn from documents and objects you find. Every solution exists in the environment. There is no abstract inventory manipulation. Narrative investigation Collect notes, photographs, cassette tapes, and personal items left behind by the people who once lived here. Your character's backstory is a buried secret, an unresolved loss - unfolds entirely through what you find. No hand-holding. Tension and threat Kindawn does not rely on jump scares. Tension builds through audio design, environmental changes, and the slow realization that something is wrong. Certain encounters require stealth and avoidance. Setting The aesthetic of "depressive Far North Siberia" is rendered in full detail: VHS players and cheap knock-off tracksuits beside shamanic talismans and mysteries older than civilization. The game draws directly from Yakut folklore and documented paranormal stories. This is not a collection of creepypastas - it is reinterpretation through a personal story of guilt, memory, and return. Key features First-person atmospheric survival horror 3-5 hour singleplayer experience Post-Soviet Siberian setting rooted in real Yakut folklore Environmental storytelling through objects, notes, and audio recordings Logic-based world puzzles with no arbitrary solutions Original atmospheric soundtrack Slowburn pacing - tension that builds like a Yakutian frost
