Overview

The Wrong Way is a psychological horror game from developer ZestosYt and publisher ZestosYt Studios, released on October 21, 2026. It blends action, adventure, and simulation elements into a first-person experience that draws you into a chilling narrative.

The game is based on true events, which adds an unsettling layer of realism to the story.

You play as James, an ordinary guy on a weekend camping trip with friends. When he decides to head home early for work, his GPS leads him astray.
