About The Thirteenth Bell
An atmospheric stealth horror puzzle game. Evade wandering watchers and decipher cryptic locks before the bell tolls thirteen. Desktop only.
In this atmospheric stealth-horror puzzle adventure, you must explore a cursed gothic cathedral cloaked in encroaching darkness. Wandering spectral inquisitors and mechanical gargoyles patrol the cloisters, reacting to footstep vibrations and open doorways.
Stay submerged in deep shadows, study patrol routes, and decode cryptic astrological dials to unlock the bell tower sanctuary. You must ring each sanctuary bell in sequence before the cursed clock strikes the dreaded thirteenth chime.
