Song of Horror offers a truly dynamic terror experience with its antagonist, the supernatural entity known only as The Presence, being controlled by an advanced AI that adapts to your actions and decisions.

You'll experience unbearable fear as this otherworldly being responds to your way of playing and hunts you down in unexpected ways - offering a unique experience to every player and gameplay where tension builds up naturally instead of coming from scripted sequences. You can experience the story through the eyes of a varied set of characters related to the story in their own way.

Every character is different, and brings their unique point of view to the investigation, allowing them to approach clues and items differently. Their actions and decisions will shape the world - some of them will know more or less of certain aspects of the story, and some will be more effective against supernatural manifestations - but all of them can die if The Presence gets to them... and death is permanent!

When a character dies, they're gone... but the next one will follow the investigation from where the deceased left it.
