In Someday You’ll Return, your daughter Stella has gone missing. This isn’t the first time she has not come home, as she has run away before, but this time it feels different. You’ll have to go out into the Moravian Forest, a place of danger and horrible secrets, if you are to ever see her again…
You will have to use every survival skill you have along with your wits to find Stella. However, the darkness of the forest is not the only thing standing in your way. Malevolent forces are between you and your daughter and these nightmares aren’t something that you can face on your own. Some fights you can’t win, and running away or using stealth is the only way to get by.
Perhaps the most fascinating thing about Someday You’ll Return, is that each and every location in the game is actually a real place that you can visit. Developer CBE Software was inspired by these real locations and decided they were the perfect setting for a psychological horror title. In fact, they even mention on their official website FAQ that these places are available to hike to, and they encourage you to do so.
