Summary of "This horror game is getting UNINSTALLED asap"
She Was 98 (indie horror by N4BA & Noex)
Premise / Storyline (chronological)
- You play a grandson who returns to care for his 98‑year‑old grandmother — his real motive is to inherit her house.
- The house is filthy, infested with rats, and has a boarded, mysterious room remembered from childhood.
- Tasks and interactions reveal family memories (photos, toys) and strange, possibly supernatural occurrences (flickering lights, a haunted TV, voices, shifting rooms).
- Grandma issues objective prompts: find a box marked with a cross, bring pills, fetch a TV from the basement, locate keys under doormats/window sills.
- The protagonist gradually shows moral corruption — considering or committing poisoning to secure the house.
- After Grandma dies (or is killed), the player moves in and renovates the house, then opens the boarded room and finds childhood memories.
- Supernatural vengeance: Grandma’s presence or ghost returns violently (jump scares, an attack at the boarded room/window), culminating with the protagonist being killed and the house reclaimed by Grandma’s spirit.
Theme: guilt and consequences — the protagonist’s greed leads to a horrific reckoning.
Gameplay highlights
- First‑person, exploration‑focused atmospheric horror with strong narrative emphasis.
- Environment interaction: searching rooms, collecting keys, moving furniture, prying boards, opening boarded doors.
- Simple puzzles and fetch objectives (find meds, photos, get TV, find hidden keys).
- Rat‑clearing mini‑tasks: bait mouse traps with cheese and remove triggered traps one by one.
- Inventory/usable items include pills, mouse traps, crowbar/pry tool, and a candle/torch for light.
- Heavy use of lighting and sound design: flickering lights, radio/TV adverts, creaks and ambient rumble to build tension.
- Frequent jump scares and disorienting sequences (dark basement, visual distortions).
- Moral‑choice framing — player decisions (neglect vs. murder for inheritance) influence narrative tone and player culpability.
Strategies and key tips (from playthrough)
- Explore thoroughly: keys and mission items are often hidden (doormats, window sills, upstairs and basement).
- Keep light sources/stable visibility: candles, lamps, or flashlight (when available) help avoid disorientation in dark areas.
- Use bait (cheese) on traps to clear rat infestations — traps will trigger and must be removed individually.
- Check the boarded room and attic carefully; prying boards and moving furniture reveals key items and story beats.
- Be cautious around the basement and rooms with flickering lights — these are frequent sources of supernatural events and jump scares.
- Expect scripted, unavoidable horror moments; hiding or running is often the best immediate reaction.
- Narrative note: harming Grandma for a house has in‑game consequences — the ending is retributive.
Notable atmosphere / developer notes
- Made by indie devs N4BA and Noex — known for strong, unsettling indie horror experiences.
- The game relies more on tension, audio/visual cues, and narrative than on complex mechanics.
