Press release:
Barcelona, Spain. May 14th, 2024.
The Barcelona-based (Spain) indie games publisher and developer JanduSoft, today announced with great joy and thrill that their first-person horror game “Scholar’s Mate“, is coming to PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, and the Xbox One) via digital stores on May 30th, 2024.

Scholar’s Mate is one of the most famous moves in chess where, in four moves, your opponent can finish you off and this is what we wanted to convey in our new game, merging the horror genre with the escape rooms.

The essence of an Escape Room within a horror game.

Welcome to a new and terrifying experience where our wits are the only thing that can save us from Eddie, a maniac who has kidnapped and locked us in an old and sinister abandoned psychiatric hospital.

In Scholar’s Mate we will have to solve a series of complex puzzles to try to get out of the horrible situation we are in. And this would be easy if our captor wasn’t constantly lurking in every corner and corridor of this gloomy place.

Eddie can hear you as well as see you. If you run, he’ll know where you are, if you shine your torch, he can see you and he can find you too. A relentless enemy who has only one goal: to end Judith’s life.

Features:
A first person horror escape room.
Explore and solve the hidden secrets of the hospital to escape.
Relentless pursuit by Eddie.
Experience the tension with an original soundtrack and immersive sound effects designed to create an eerie atmosphere.
