You are just a food delivery guy. But this time, the destination is not an ordinary house. It is Opossum Country, a gloomy trailer park deep in the woods, where everything is wrong. There is no phone signal available. No one accepts food. Every door you open reveals distorted faces, cryptic words, and an unsettling sensation that seeps into your being.

Opossum Country Game Story

Starting with rotting cars and opossums running free, you meet residents with strange expressions, mysterious words, and signs of a transformation taking place. One by one, they mention the name Bill—a leader who can help people shed their old skin. And you gradually realize this is not a place to live but a place to transform.

You try to save a girl and find a way to leave this area but the car won't start. With each step deeper into the forest, you encounter opossums that seem to be no longer normal animals and black notebooks containing the transformation records of new believers.

If you were creeped out by Devil’s Liminal, a yuri horror visual novel about memories and ghosts, Opossum Country will make you shiver in a different, more raw and visceral way. It's like a cult in the guise of a trailer park, and you're just a pizza delivery guy who accidentally walked in.

Game Boy feel, modern obsession

Designed in the classic Game Boy style, Opossum Country scares you not with jumpscares, but by instilling a sense of anxiety, doubt and confusion through every dialogue, every rotten trailer corner, and every deviant behavior of the residents.

You'll never be sure whether you're hunting monsters or disturbing a community trying to live differently. And when you pull the trigger, the question remains: "Who's the real invader?"

Opossum Country is not a horror game that makes you scream but makes you silent, think and feel wrong in your heart. A small indie title, but enough to make you remember forever the eyes of the opossums, the whispers of transformation, and the lingering question: do we really understand what we are breaking?
