The Developer Says...
The Tower on the Borderland is an atmospheric horror game, set in a gargantuan labyrinth.
You play as Erin, a special ops soldier who finds herself trapped in an otherworldly domain. Explore and find a way to escape from this haunted and imposing structure which looms ominously over the wasteland. The Tower is infested with grotesque insects and ghouls, as well as your demonic former squadmates. Meanwhile, a mysterious stranger is on a personal quest towards the Tower as well, carrying a burden that may aid in Erin's desperate attempt to survive.
