Overview

OBSESSED is a compact psychological horror adventure from developer and publisher Skritch Games, released on October 9, 2026. It's a single-player experience that leans heavily on atmosphere and narrative, with a runtime of roughly 40 minutes.

The game is built around a simple but chilling premise: a Halloween gag gift called the One Wish Walnut can grant any wish—but the consequences are far from harmless.

You play as Sam, who acquires the walnut hoping to bring his sister Madison back to life. When the wish is made, it doesn't resurrect her in any normal sense.

Instead, it replaces her consciousness with an obsessive entity whose sole purpose is to serve Sam. As reality begins to fray, you'll have to face the horrifying fallout of a wish that should never have been spoken.

Highlights

  • Short, focused horror: Designed to be completed in about 40 minutes, making it an ideal evening-length experience for horror fans.
  • Psychological and supernatural themes: Steam user tags highlight psychological horror, thriller, atmospheric, and supernatural elements, promising a mind-bending narrative rather than jump-scare-heavy gameplay.
  • Broad language support: Full audio support in English, with subtitles available in Japanese, French, German, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Korean, and many more.

Who It's For

OBSESSED is for players who enjoy story-driven horror that doesn't overstay its welcome. If you like walking simulators, cinematic experiences, or games that mess with your perception of reality, this is a strong pick.

The short runtime also makes it perfect for a single sitting—ideal for those who want a complete horror story without a long-term commitment.
