Only You Are Here is a first-person psychological horror game that eschews traditional combat for atmosphere and tension. Players find themselves trapped in a dream world composed of fragmented memories. By exploring detailed, unsettling environments and solving logic-based puzzles, you must find the key to a mysterious small door that promises escape. The narrative is non-linear and changes based on your exploration, leading to five possible conclusions.

Our Expert Score

85/100

Only You Are Here is a hauntingly beautiful dive into the subconscious. It excels in environmental storytelling, where a simple discarded toy or a flickering light tells more about the protagonist's trauma than a page of dialogue ever could. The 'horror' here is sophisticated; it’s the horror of realization and memory rather than gore.

The puzzles are integrated naturally into the surreal world. They rarely feel like 'gamey' roadblocks, but rather like metaphors for unlocking suppressed thoughts. The multiple endings provide a strong incentive to replay and pay closer attention to the clues you might have missed during your first terrifying descent into the dream.

Great game
Wed Apr 16 2025 Corie Rae

Loved this game a lot ! Saw it recommended in a Facebook group so i decided to check it out & I’m glad i did. It had a spooky but chill atmosphere with enough complexity throughout to keep it interesting but not frustrating. There was one puzzle i had to look up a walkthrough for but i tend to get impatient lol. I enjoyed the Add-on game as well. Really hope we see more from the devs in the future !!! (-:

Lots of good things to say about this game

It's a great first offering from a new developer.... lots of originality, wonderful graphics and music... I really enjoyed it. The puzzles are good, but I think the interface makes it easier than it has to be. It would be more challenging with a different kind of interface. Still, it's a good game. I encountered a big glitch while playing and thought I couldn't finish, but when I went back in to get a screenshot for the dev, it was all resolved and I was able to finish the rest with no more problems. I appreciated that there was an epilogue but it's timed and I don't like timed games.... they make me tense and I play for relaxation.... so I started it but didn't finish. Still, there's a lot of good here. Update: I wrote that review a long time ago. I just started replaying it yesterday and the game, even tho it says it saves your progress automatically, lost all my progress! Ugh. Dev, if you read this, maybe tell us how to save our progress? Until then, I’m deleting. The controls aren’t the easiest even with the invert, so it’s really not worth it to replay. It’s a good game. Too bad the gameplay and save function aren’t the best.

New Spin on Classic Puzzle Games

I enjoyed the Secret Elevator Remastered and the Timed Add-On. They were a welcome breath of fresh air in the sea of puzzle games I have played thus far. The puzzles required more thought and thinking “outside the box” to complete. If there’s one area that I was disappointed in, it would be the endings to both the original and timed games. They were not as dynamic as I had expected and left me wanting more. But, the overall games made-up for this slight disappointment. I had a real sense of accomplishment when I finally completed each game. The “Timed” Add-On added another element to an already challenging game. I had to play it several times in order to successfully finish the game. Looking forward to future endeavors. The “skip” feature failed to work on my iPad Air 2 running the current IOS 11 software, which became frustrating as it took me several attempts to solve the Timed” Add-On.

A truly different (and spooky) flavor of puzzle game

Some of the best sound design I have come across. I really appreciated the full 3D motion control. The movement does seem a tad slow but it fits with the overall atmosphere of the game. I do wish there had been a bit more revelation at the end but as they indicate this is more a recollection of a dream and I have my own ideas on what the scenario really is. I thought the puzzle-solving aspect was fairly straightforward. And there is one particularly unnerving jump scare 😱 Спасибо developers!

Intriguing, but needs controller support!
Sun Sep 29 2024 colin514

Just started this game and it looks very intriguing so far! Touch controls seem to work well, graphics are nice and the story is interesting, but I’d LOVE to see support for controllers such as the Backbone One. Seems like the perfect kind of game to play with a controller attached. Hopefully this can be implemented, I’d love to explore more of this game!

Doesn’t actually save.
Mon Jan 02 2023 Violetbsu

After playing the game about 30min and returning to it, it only saved until about 10 min in. Frustrated, I went ahead and restarted. I replayed everything and more. When I went back in again, it was back to about 20 min. Each time I lost 4 puzzles and about 20min. Until they add the ability to save for yourself, it’s not worth replying over and over again.

Don’t Know What Everybody Else is Playing

There was no music, and limited sound effects. The navigation system was beyond annoying and I spent way too much time trying to get where I wanted to go. Kept ending up in corners and behind doors. When I did get the magnifying glass that indicated a “hot spot” it was usually nothing I could interact with. Quit and deleted. Lots of better games from Glitch, Forgotten Hill, Rusty Lake and more.

Glitchy as...
Mon Aug 28 2017 tulabean

DON'T PURCHASE - BUGS ABOUND!!! Addendum to original review: I'm now in the train section of the game. It's clearly got a bug because there's a suitcase I cannot open. I've interacted with everything possible and I can no longer progress through the game. This is supposed to be a "remastered" version. I suspect it was just renamed in order to get more rubes like me to purchase it. Reducing rating to 1 star from 2. If I could give it a negative rating I would. Original review: Purchased a couple of hours ago. Controls are simplistic at best. Easy enough to follow clues. Game glitches out randomly however, and you can only look around. If it's been a while since a save point, this can be annoying.
