About this game Read the full description
Solve cryptic puzzles, embrace or evade vengeful specters, decide who to trust and unravel a mystery.
Ancra is a narrative driven, puzzle-horror game. Explore the home of a dying photographer, and solve puzzles to access new areas.
Encounter strange, conflicting beings and discover a haunting story, piece by piece. Try to understand why you are here, who you are and what role you play in their story.
The photographer's house lies empty, its blood still.
Before it stands a figure.
The house beckons.
Lights within flicker to life. Spirits stir at her return.
An Ancra is only complete when it is understood.
It requires both Vessel and victim.
Whose remains shall you cast to flames?
The book of the Serpent shall be your guide.
And the final page remains unwritten.

- Content warning
- Ancra's story deals with themes of death and loss. Violence is eluded to, but rarely encountered in-game and is never portrayed in an overly graphic fashion. Death of a loved one and mortality are themes central to the plot. Alcohol abuse may be mentioned in passing. The game also features images of crime-scene photography. These photos are not real and were staged specifically for this game.
