Aarav The Cursed Son

AARAV: THE CURSED SON

When dreams turn into nightmares, there’s no place left to hide.

Aarav: The Cursed Son is a cinematic psychological horror experience that blurs the line between guilt and madness.
You play as Dr. Harsh, a talented surgeon and single father tormented by the tragic death of his sixteen-year-old son, Aarav.

Years after that night, strange visions begin haunting him—whispers, shadows, fragments of a world that shouldn’t exist. Then one evening, while dozing in his study, he wakes up somewhere impossible… inside a decaying version of the same asylum where Aarav once stayed.

This is no dream.
It’s a punishment.
A labyrinth created by Aarav’s restless spirit—a place where guilt has taken shape and memory bleeds into reality.

Your only escape is through the truth. But truth demands a price.

STORY SUMMARY

Aarav was brilliant but unstable. His mind carried more darkness than a boy should bear. When his condition worsened, Dr. Harsh, unable to treat him alone, admitted him into a private asylum.
Weeks later, a violent incident shook the facility. Aarav’s body was found, his death ruled a tragic accident.

But something never felt right.

Now, years later, Dr. Harsh is pulled into a distorted dream world built from fragments of Aarav’s memories. Every corridor whispers his name. Every door leads deeper into the night his son died.

As you explore, you piece together letters, audio logs, patient notes, and drawings—each revealing the real story: of obsession, guilt, and a love twisted by fear.
The deeper you go, the more the dream decays. Rooms reshape themselves. Time loops.
Reality bends until the only thing left to question is your own sanity.
