Publisher Mastiff and Bangkok-based developer Yggdrazil Group have announced the release date for Home Sweet Home.

The survival horror game, based on real-life Thai mythology and lore, will launch via digital storefronts for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on October 9th.

A GameStop-exclusive retail version is planned for PlayStation 4 in North America – it launches on October 16th.

Here’s a rundown on the game:

The first in a series of terrifying first-person horror games, Home Sweet Home throws players into a dark and twisted labyrinth, where a miasma of fear fills the air, dread bleeds through cracks in the ceiling and seeps down through broken floorboards, and anxiety grows stronger with every step.

After a long night filled with mourning and sorrow over the recent disappearance of his wife, Tim awakens to find himself in a strange, dilapidated building instead of the comfort of his own home. Naturally confused, he desperately begins to search for a way out while attempting to solve questions that could lead to answers regarding his wife’s disappearance. At the same time, he’ll find himself being hunted by malevolent spirits.
There is a dark and sinister secret casting a shadow over this interconnected labyrinth…and without question, it’s no longer the happy home that it once was.
