“SHE WAS 98” - you play as a grandson who returns to his elderly grandmother's home to care for her.....
Developed by N4bA, Notex · Published by Notex, N4bA
You play as a young man who returns to his elderly grandmother’s dilapidated apartment to care for her. As her behavior grows strange and unsettling sounds disturb the nights, questions arise about what is happening in the home—and why he came back.
This first-person psychological horror is a linear walking simulator. You carry out care routines and simple errands, such as finding objects, while exploring the apartment and encountering scripted disturbances.
Progress comes through these everyday tasks and the story they gradually uncover, rather than complex mechanics. The experience focuses on atmosphere, mystery, and the grandson’s motives.
Players who enjoy the game often highlight its oppressive atmosphere, sound design, and jump scares, which they say build tension in the confined apartment. Some also appreciate the dark family story. Other players find the scares predictable or excessive, and opinions differ on how frightening the short, straightforward experience is.
You are a young man, the grandson of an almost century-old grandmother who is living out her days in her once cozy but long dilapidated apartment. Her relatives have long ago withdrawn from her, the medics speak of “senile dementia”, but you come to care for her - out of duty? Or in the hope that after her death the apartment will be left to you?
Everything starts as a routine: pills by the hour, quiet evenings, the smell of dust and mothballs. But grandma's acting, uh. strange. Sometimes she looks at you like she doesn't recognize you. Sometimes she looks at you like she sees someone else. At night you wake up to her footsteps behind the wall. Or is that not her?
"SHE WAS 98" is a story of fear, self-interest and payback. The line between victim and hunter blurs, and every step you take brings you closer to a secret that might be better left unknown.
