If you are a fan of immersive visual storytelling, mind-bending environmental puzzles, and rich world-building, we’ve got some thrilling news for you today.

Charm Games, the award-winning indie development studio behind acclaimed VR titles like FORM and Twilight Path, has officially unveiled its brand-new title: The Orphaned House.

The game is heading to PC (via Steam), Xbox Series X | S, and PlayStation 5.

Here is everything you need to know about this intriguing new announcement!

A Shift From Virtual Reality to Traditional Displays

For years, Charm Games built a stellar reputation in the virtual reality space, crafting surreal, highly tactile puzzle worlds. With The Orphaned House, the studio is taking a huge leap into its very first non-VR title.

Built in Unreal Engine 5, The Orphaned House offers a full free-roaming, first-person 3D adventure designed from the ground up for standard screens—whether you play via keyboard and mouse or with a gamepad.

Despite the shift in platform, fans can rest assured: the signature Charm Games hallmarks—intuitive design, handcrafted puzzles, striking visuals, and deeply atmospheric storytelling—are front and centre.

What Is ‘The Orphaned House’ About?

You awaken inside an unfamiliar house with zero memory of how you got there. Your only guiding light is a compelling urge to find answers—answers hidden deep within the structure itself.

The Orphaned House is a game that replaces high-octane combat and dialogue with quiet suspense and environmental investigation:

• Tactile & Intuitive Puzzles: Study each room carefully. The puzzles are woven directly into the architecture and environment, requiring keen observation rather than artificial key-hunting.
• A Responsive World: This isn’t just a static set piece. As you explore, dig deeper, and solve mysteries, you will witness a cascading impact as the House itself reacts and responds to your presence.
• Curiosity Rewarded: Every object you examine and every room you unlock uncovers another piece of the overarching narrative puzzle.

Platforms & Release Window

The Orphaned House is set to launch in 2027, with a playable demo scheduled to arrive in 2026.

It will be available across all major modern platforms:

• PC (Steam & Epic Games Store)
• PlayStation 5
• Xbox Series X | S

If you’re eager to keep an eye on this quiet, atmospheric mystery, you can already head over to Steam and add The Orphaned House to your wishlist today!
