We Are Sisters

Seven weeks after Aleks Varnokov vanishes, a personal search for a missing childhood friend becomes a descent into something far more disturbing. We Are Sisters is a compact psychological horror adventure set around the ominous forests of Eastbane and the forgotten complex buried beneath them. Its mood relies on isolation, uncertainty, and the slow realization that every answer reveals a worse question. Rather than chasing constant jump scares, it builds tension through silence, unsettling spaces, and a mystery that grows more threatening as the facility opens up.

Investigation drives the roughly hour-long experience, with environmental puzzles blocking the route forward and scattered clues gradually shaping the story of Aleks’s disappearance. Players inspect abandoned rooms, interpret the purpose of strange machinery, and search for ways through sealed or hazardous sections of the underground site. Stealth sequences add pressure when simply moving ahead is no longer safe, shifting the pace from careful observation to anxious survival. Cinematic moments punctuate the exploration, while the sound design does much of the heavy lifting: distant noises, industrial ambience, and unnerving quiet make even an empty corridor feel suspect.

What stands out is the game’s commitment to a focused, self-contained horror story instead of stretching its premise into a long campaign padded with combat or collectibles. Eastbane’s forest setting and the claustrophobic facility beneath it create a strong contrast between open darkness and enclosed dread, giving the investigation a suitably dreamlike, conspiratorial feel. The short running time makes it well suited to a single evening, especially for players who enjoy atmospheric indie horror in the vein of narrative walking sims with light puzzle-solving and stealth. Veterans should expect a brief, story-first fright rather than a mechanically demanding survival-horror challenge, while newcomers get an accessible introduction to psychological horror’s slower, more unsettling style.
