Pact of Joy (v1.0.2)

Pact of Joy is a suspenseful adventure set in the eerie, underwater environment of Phorcys Station, an abandoned facility linked to the world of Test of Courage and Born Into Fear. Players take on the role of Victor Cortes, tasked with investigating mysterious signs of a Buffer—a dangerous entity rumored to be connected to a cult-like group known as the Children of Joy, who have taken residence in the station. As Victor searches for Lila, the story unfolds through exploration and uncovering hidden secrets, revealing that much more lies beneath the surface of this haunting place. Gameplay revolves around stealth and careful navigation through the cramped, shadowy corridors of Phorcys Station, where players must avoid hostile guardians while solving puzzles to progress. Repairing control panels unlocks new areas, and interaction with remnants of former inhabitants offers insights into the tragic past of the Children of Joy. Players collect items to aid their mission and rely on a helpful drone companion that illuminates dark spaces and highlights objects of interest using a special ability called Enlightened Vision. The game also features randomized puzzle solutions, ensuring each playthrough presents fresh challenges. With a mix of tense atmosphere, character encounters, and strategic stealth, Pact of Joy invites players to decide whether to bring peace to the Children of Joy or leave their fate unresolved.
