What is Father's Day?
This first-person psychological horror game is mostly a walking simulator. You explore locations for notes and story clues while alternating between a police sergeant, a scientist, and a missing child's relative. Their stories connect as the scientist tries to bring back his wife and son; one act adds survival-horror elements.
