The Weeping is a first-person puzzle horror game set in the abandoned Worathep Estate. Eddie is looking for Cherrie, his girlfriend, who disappeared while photographing a story about the missing. Four stone statues stand in the garden. They move only when no one is watching.


Keep them in sight. Turn around, close your eyes, or let the light die, and they close the distance. A phone torch, a candle, and matches are all you have. Read what Mae left behind, combine the evidence, and cross five places: a rusted courtyard, a rose theatre, a storehouse, a sculptor's crypt, and a weeping fountain. What you refuse to give up, and whether you return before Mae's breath runs out, decides how the night ends.


The story is original. The game is inspired by the television series Doctor Who.

Game Play

  • Freeze a statue by looking at it. Look away and it moves.
  • Light the dark with your phone, a candle, or a match. Light is a resource.
  • Gather letters, names, and keepsakes. Combine them in your evidence bag.
  • Solve a different gate in each area, then go back for what the fountain still needs.
  • Switch between Thai and English at any time.
  • One sitting, about an hour of active play. Three endings.

The ambiance is spooky and nice! But i feel like the programming might need a bit of work?
Love the concept, ill look into the game after its been worked on a bit more <3

Thank you so much for the kind words! We're really glad you enjoyed the spooky vibe and concept. Since this version was made in a short time for a Game Jam, some mechanics are still a bit rough around the edges. We’re definitely planning to polish the gameplay and squash those bugs, so stay tuned for future updates!
