HUSK
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
The Story
You've just inherited the estate of your distant relative, Dr. Hague Shoal, who disappeared nearly a century ago.
His home has been abandoned for decades, and the real-estate company refuses to send any more appraisers. They insist that you go and clear out the property yourself.
What's the big deal?
What happened to the appraisers?
And what's that scraping sound coming from the walls?
HUSK is a short, atmospheric horror game taking you through the story of Dr. Shoal, as you uncover his past, and the horror that awaits in his decrepit home.

About the Project
Our goal with HUSK was to create an unsettling, creepy experience, that's accessible for people who can't handle jump-scares.
This project was originally started as a Halloween Game Jam project for our small community discord server, "McSingles". After the jam, we continued to develop it further, resulting in what you see today!

Thanks for playing!
Very enjoyable game
Thanks for playing!
This was so fun! It was very subtly creepy, and it DID jumpscare me once or twice!
Comments below clip;
Loved this 2D/3D combo, the story and the execution of the game. It ran as smooth as butter off of a very hot knife [so to speak]. I really believe subtle sounds are way more scary than anything I can see [as I've seen a lot]. Great game. It earned you a 5 star rating. Thanks for making it.
Thanks for playing!
@ Micheal,
You're welcome.
Thanks for playing!
Great game! Creepy sounds of the giant spider :0 Played on my channel :)
Cool game. Creature had a great mechanic and the story was good too.
Thanks for playing!
Very spooky!
This, is ELON HUSK
this was probably one of the most beautiful games i've played in a while, The art style was so top notch.
When examining something it would zoom in and be so nice to look at.
I can't quite place it, but this game had me captured until the end.
Here is my playthrough of the game if you would like to give it a watch,and thank you for making such a well polished game :P
Thanks for the kind words! :)
Nice short game!
love your game :):):) love your game :):):)
Thanks for playing!
I like how it went to 2d to 3d
Glad to hear we made it into your top list!
Olá, venho através desse texto dizer que simplesmente amei demais esse jogo, fiz uma gameplay e tomei alguns sustos que me deixou bem satisfeito. FIca aqui minha recomendação, não só pra assistir essa gameplay, como também pra jogar e sentir essa experiencia incrivel que é desse jogo. Sucesso a todos que fizeram também gameplays, Tamo juntos.
The first thing I though when I saw the painting glowing after picking up the key was "Do you remember our venerable house?"
So refreshing to be spooked without being jump scared or chased by anything :D really enjoyed this, thank you!
Skip to 28:09 for HUSK!
Odlična igrica, razumljiva i kratka, točno kakva bi i trebala biti, priča sa 4 komad papira je super, i samo čudovište koje dolazi po tebe je veoma zanimljiv, radujem se još ovakvim igricama!
(starts at 1:16) Defend yourself horror games are the best because.. you have your life on the line, 10/10, lots of scares!
This was really interesting. I wish the monster had a bit more to it, but it was a fun experience all around.
Husk starts at 12:42 of the video.
I gave it a go - 19:54 -
