Ramona for Windows

Quick summary

Ramona is an action-oriented psychological horror game created by Daniele Doesn’t Matter. Played from a first-person perspective, you explore a haunted apartment to uncover the apartment’s buried secrets. Invisible entities stalk the rooms and can only be detected using the protagonist’s camera.

Time and place

Setting: a rundown flat in the 1970s, full of troubling reminders and hidden history.
Premise: Samuel, a journalist, enters the cursed residence to piece together the truth about its tenant, Ramona. His investigation relies on solving environmental puzzles and collecting written and photographic evidence scattered through the home.

How the game works

• First-person exploration with a strong emphasis on atmosphere and environmental storytelling.
• A camera mechanic that reveals otherwise invisible supernatural presences.
• Puzzle-solving and evidence-gathering (letters, diaries, photos) that unlock fragments of the narrative.
• Occasional mild jump scares and moments designed to build sustained tension rather than constant shocks.

Strengths and limitations

• Short runtime — the experience can typically be completed in a single session.
• Visibility issues at times; dim lighting and visual clarity can make navigation frustrating.
• Strong mood and ambient design that effectively create dread and suspense.
• Engaging narrative structure delivered through found documents and environmental clues.
