The Children Of Selene

The Children of Selene is a first-person psychological horror game that centers on Lucian Graves - a Washington State police officer - who awakens from a strange dream. Under a sky shrouded in darkness, he receives an urgent call: the Smith family murders, believed to be linked to a mysterious moon-worshipping cult called The Children of Selene.

But as night falls, the moon glows red and its light becomes a curse - Lucian begins to realize he is not just the investigator on this case... but may be part of their ritual.

The Children of Selene Game Story

After waking up in a strange house, Lucian discovers strange signs, including diaries, codes, and mysterious verses:

• “Only in silence will she speak.”
• “The boy is her vessel, born beneath her sight.”

An internal letter from the Police Department reveals the Smith case involves a cult that believes the world will end on July 1, 2075, and they are looking for a host—a pure child under the moonlight.

Lucian is drawn into a series of hallucinations and bloody rituals as he follows the clues to Cedar Street 41, where a trail of blood, prayers, and whispers from the Moon are left. The boundaries between reality and dream and between humans and hosts gradually dissolve.

Gameplay: The Children of Selene

The game is a linear investigative and puzzle-solving horror game, interspersed with stealth horror and psychological event sequences.

• Explore the environment (house, police station, Smith family home).
• Collect clues through letters, reports, and interactive objects (books, radios, phones, safes, etc.).
• Solve codes and unlock using environmental clues (e.g., 7650 – locker code, 2743 – bathroom code).
• Hide and move through the light of the moon—the moon is Selene’s eye.
• Experience visual and psychological distortions: reality continues to warp as the ritual approaches.

Features

• The atmosphere is a blend of Lovecraftian and analog horror, drawing inspiration from Local 58 and Signal Simulator.
• The plot is fragmented and abstract, revealed through fragments of memories, narratives, and ritual poetry.
• Themes intertwine between guilt, obsession, and extreme beliefs.
• Ambient lighting and sound effects play a leading role, with no HUD or clear instructions.
