Press release:
[Wiesbaden, Germany – February 27th, 2024.
The Wiesbaden-based (Germany) indie games publisher and developer Assemble Entertainment and California-based (the US) indie games developer Tainted Pact, are today very proud and glad to announce that their 80s-inspired horror game “Terror At Oakheart“, is now available for PC via Steam.

Visit the town of Oakheart, where you’ll encounter a horrifying killer named Teddy, who terrorizes the community. As the body count rises, you must uncover the secrets behind this masked menace and the town of Oakheart itself. Do so – if you dare!
Inspired by slasher films from the ’80s and ’90s, Terror at Oakheart follows a wide cast of characters, each of whom is destined to perish at the hands of the psychotic serial killer known as Teddy. But all is not what it seems, as Teddy is under the sway of a Lovecraftian beast, adding even more intrigue to the already mysterious events that unfold. Play as Eric, Ethan, Rose, Tyler, and others, and see who will survive the onslaught, while working to uncover the truth behind Teddy’s motivations.

In Terror at Oakheart, you will move through a number of sets throughout the town, such as Teddy’s house, the nearby police station, a ranger station, camp areas, and others. As you explore, you’ll investigate and uncover more about Teddy and the town of Oakheart in this horrifying retro-inspired adventure.

Reminiscent of games and films from the ‘80s and ‘90s, Terror at Oakheart has a gorgeous, vibrant pixel art style that gives it a nostalgic touch. The terror is turned up to 11 thanks to the atmospheric presentation that will surely keep you on the edge of your seat.
Features:

Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid: Explore the town of Oakheart, where each location will bring you closer to uncovering the mysteries hidden there.
We All Go A Little Mad Sometimes: Investigate and unmask details about Teddy, a psychotic serial murderer under the sway of a Lovecraftian beast.
They’re Coming to Get You, Barbara: Play as a cast of unique characters and watch as each one survives or falls at the hands of Teddy the killer.
