Halls of the Pale Widow
A downloadable game for Windows
Within these old halls, the spirit of a woman roams. She thirsts for the blood of men and is unrelenting in her pursuit. Can you escape the Pale Widow or will you succumb to her desires?
- Procedurally Generated Environments – Roam a procedurally generated dungeon that recreates itself each time the game is started, ensuring each run is different.
- Collection Horror – Explore and collect various items that will aid you as the Widow’s pursuit grows stronger.
- Retro Style - Styled after games specifically from the 6th generation of video game consoles (PS2, XBox etc.)
- Unlock Gear and Cosmetics – Earn points through your repeated attempts to unlock tools or additional content.
- To Purify or to Die – Unlock H-Scenes and view them either when purifying the Widow’s spirit or when losing to her.
- Freemode – Tired of running around a maze? Unlock Freemode to view the animated H-Scenes in a safe environment.
Special Thanks to my friend who has asked to only be referred to as B for voicing the Widow.
Developer Notes
Hello and thank you for taking interest in this game. This game was created as a two-week project that extended to around three and a half for polish and additional features. As I wanted to get this out sooner rather than later there are some known issues but nothing game-breaking:
-Doors will sometimes appear on walls but won’t lead anywhere. This won’t block any paths, but is a bit of a pain.
-Some of the environment pieces will clip into each other resulting in z-fighting and other visual glitches.
-The unlockable bunny outfit clips with the Widow’s body during certain animations.
There are some non-bug related issues such as balancing, so the game may either seem too easy or too hard. Regardless, please enjoy.
Guide (Only use this if you’re having trouble)
You need to collect five keys and find the exit to unlock the door. Once you’ve unlocked Purification in the shop (unlock this ASAP), you can instead look for two keys and the “Gun Emblem” to open the chest near the exit. Inside the chest is a weapon that, once collected, will start a fight phase with the Widow. When she’s been defeated you can then purify her for extra points and an animated scene. Purification is the best way to earn points.
Check the map (M) and try to figure out where you are. Use scanners only when you need to. “Strange Bottles” are scattered about that can stagger the ghost letting you escape easily. Unlock both key detections tools as early as you can to make finding keys easy. So long as you collect some keys, dying will still net you some money but a very small amount.
If you're having issues outrunning the Widow, make sure to close doors behind you to break line-of-sight. If you need some extra speed, try crouch jumping while sprinting.

when to expect a new update ?
Sometime this week, hopefully.
How are points distributed? I spent half an hour and collected 4 keys only to get 200 points? I can't buy anything with that.
Besides that, awesome game!
Thanks! Keys give 50 points each and you get points on completion. If all you do is collect keys, you won't get very many points. Purification (has to be unlocked first) will give you the most points and escape (default) will give you varying points based on how fast you complete the run.
Amazing Game! I wish there were more H scenes but I had a lot of fun!
Thanks! There will be more H scenes soon!
please create wiki for this game . i dont understand what to do and what i buy in shop
There's a guide in the description that may help. There are also some additional items that will be added to the game that may also help in the update coming soon.
I rarely comment, but holy crap this game's fantastic. I love the movement, the style, the more erotic moments, it's awesome. Biggest complaint is that there isn't more of it.
Thanks! Hoping to update the game next week with more content before moving onto my next project.
- Screw the bugs during the gameplay, they are minor issues. If you can adapt to the gameplay, those bugs are simply irrelevant. Once you succeeded in taking over the gameplay, you would still replay it even when you unlocked everything because the difficult still match up the challenge.
- So I think right now this game only need to care about H-contents the most, just more positions when you get caught and after you beat the widow, also maybe 1 - 3 more costume ? Raze the bugs in H-contents and models ( P**sy lips spread and c*ms flow ).
- If this one got put on steam it's likely become a big hit. The gameplay of chasing - prey - hunter, the thrilling, all in flavour.
Thanks, I'm glad you think so. With the current in-development update, I am prioritizing more H-scenes and costumes. I am also solving some bugs and making some adjustments to the difficulty but nothing that'll take away the challenge.
dude this game is awesome, however id like some places to hide or more variety of rooms and fix some bugs
Thanks! The update I'm working on only really focuses on more content and QoL changes. Major changes to gameplay (like hiding) probably won't be added. But I'll keep in mind for what I do next.
id also love to see hiding spots where she can find you at random and instead of her killing you she will pick you up and try to mate you on a sacrfice bed
being mated here the bed will stab us taking a perma hp penilty and dying on it
will having a final mating screen where 4 girls spawn next to her they will all take turns on our oc and at the end one of the girls a big girl will take a axe and cut our head off
krasue games
are you planning to expand this game if not i think ill not donate but if theres plans to expand this game ill for sure donate to this game
ive been looking for a good kill v survivor /cat and mouse style of a game and it being lewd
I don't really plan on expanding it as you've outlined in your comments. I originally wasn't going to add more content but the overwhelming support made me reconsider. New scenes, items and outfits are going to be added to the game, but beyond that I won't be making any major changes to the gameplay. Just tweaks.
My goal is to make more games and experiment with different ideas.
fair ill make sure to follow you to see what you do in the future heres hoping its good :)
another outfit and idea
Blackout mode - no lights at all besides a flashlight
you gain x2 point rewards
new outfit - Shadow Creature
with a pure black body and neon outlines that show off her tits and pussy and ass she will only be seeable by fl or if you get with in breeding range
would love to see risk and reward items as well
maybe on thing could be her dead husbands ring this would make her always see us
it would grant us the ability to hear a heartbeat when shes within 10 meters away and if you get to far away to a point you cant hear the heart beat she will tp to you within that 10 meters
you would gain 10,000 points for this
you could also maybe trip her and you could steal her panties she would become angry at you and gain extra speed she wants her panties back
dead man aka hardcore mode
when you trip her she will drop her knife while shes ass up taking her knife she will go into the basement and get a huge butcher knife like clouds breaker sword size of a butcher knife
this gives her increased speed does not stack on panties and gives her instant kill you could also throw the knife to stagger her
id love to see a freemode version of the death animation
where instead of stabbing us at the end it would be her scaring us stabing the ground next to our head and then her laying her head on our chest
all and all not a bad game and not bad porn
tho would love if she had a sexy demon outfit
maybe turn her red give her horns and wings
with a dommy leather outfit on
This some high effort you have put into this game. Procedural generation ain't easy.
Thanks! It's obviously not perfect, but I'm happy with how it generally turned out. Not sure if I'll use procedural generation for the next project or not.
This is a freaking masterpiece You got my respect 🤝
Thank you!
genuinely the most fun ive had with any of the nsfw horrors i have played, looking forward to more from you in the future!
Thanks for the kind words! After the next update, I'll begin properly working on my next project.
Where do we like submit bug reports?
PS sex, damn. Amazing. Any chance to see this on Steam in the future? Gotta have this on my curator page
I hadn't considered it but quite a few people have told me that it might be a good idea. I'm a bit nervous about the prospect though, haha.
I understand, a store page isnt free after all. Maybe with some additional content or levels you could make a paid version
I don't typically play scary games, but I decided to give this one a shot due to its retro PS2 style. It turned out to be much scarier than I expected, especially during the initial runs. However, as you play more, you start to get accustomed to it. The animations were surprisingly good. I usually have low expectations for NSFW games, but this one pleasantly surprised me. I did hope for a bit more content, like additional animations or perhaps a different map. That might be asking a lot, but overall, great job!
Thanks! Happy to hear the PS2 style is what hooked you. Honestly, I wasn't sure what kind of reception the style would have, especially for an NSFW game. I'm particularly partial to it as some of my fondest memories come from PS2 games.
More animations and content are coming, thanks to all the people who have requested it. No timeframe yet, however.
I grew up with a PS2, and those are some of my best memories, so I love games that bring back that vibe. Can't wait for the updates and your next project.
So i find out that there's 3 scenes: cowgirl, missionary and doggy. Is that correct?
At the moment, yes.
I've beaten the game a few times now and I've bought the Free Mode to view the scenes, and I noticed the doggystyle position was also a scene.
I got defeated and got the cowgirl scene. Purified her and got another scene, but then I tried a few things afterwards and never got the doggystyle in-game no matter what I tried. I was wondering how you trigger it, if anyone reading this knows?
Take her behind :)
Don't suppose there's any plans on bringing this bad boy over to Steam at some point? Could be fun to have it there as well, considering they allow nsfw adjacent stuff.
It might be a good idea. I've always dreamed of having a game on Steam but I'm honestly terrified of it. Maybe after I've polished the game a bit more.
Oh yeah that's a given. Give it a little more time but could definitely work out well because it has a very fun appeal to it.
Does the room with a campfire serve any purpose?
It's the Widow's spawn room.
usually I'd look for ways to skip straight to the sexy parts in these types of games but I found my actually enjoying the gameplay quite a bit. you're a talented dude and I'll be looking forward to more of your stuff! also this was free??? the quality is hella premium so imma have to throw some monies at you
oh and I love the femdom style of the defeat H-scene so uhhh more? pretty please? :3
An update is in the works and I will add another defeat animation. More information on the update will eventually be posted both on here and Patreon.
Game is pretty fun for sure. I only had access to the horror game side and not the NFSW side. But I really wish she wouldn't track me that far and for that long. It seems impossible to lose her for any length of time. Besides that, the game's pretty ok for that.
Here's my channel for other games I have played. https://www.youtube.com/@Levont
how are the future updates coming along
i wish there are more game like this
I'm juggling the updates with my next project but they're still coming.
is there a way to glitch money?
sometimes you can glitch the hp, so you won't take any damage. It doesn't work every time, but I found that by taking some damage and then healing to full go find another heal and spam it, it makes the purification ending easy.
yep using cheat engine
how does it works?
This game is awesome, very good, I hope to see more updates for it, with more scenes and even fetishes...
like you've heard already, great game with lots of potential if you ever decided to work on it more. but don't let that thought stop you from starting a new project.
i'll definitely rember to check back regularly. looking forward to seeing more nsfw horror! there's not enough actual horror nsfw that isn't just that cartoonish type of surface level horror. again, ggwp.
Thank you! Definitely planning on more NSFW horror. As a huge fan of getting the pants scared off me, I want to try injecting scarier stuff into my next project.
Love the game, Krasue! I was wondering though, why make other games similar to this one when you could expand on it instead? If possible, you could add more outfits, positions and animations, maybe a few more different types of rooms with more diverse aesthetics and it'll be even greater!
To my knowledge, if I understood correctly, the game used to be even grindier before version 1.0.1 but maybe you could consider reducing the prices a little more since the game still is quite grindy. Keep up the great work!
Thanks! While I mentioned that I'm making a new game "similar" to this one, it's only really similar in that it's a horror game with a PS2 aesthetic.
That said, I will be updating this game thanks to the positive reception and general interest for more content. Animations, of course, being a priority.
Great game! Everything feels so polished and optimised. The nsfw stuff is actually well animated! Respect! I wish you all the best on your next endeavours!
Hey dude, loved the game even from a horror game perspective. I look forward to your next game <3
great game but I do wish that I didn't have to beat the game to go back to the nsfw there should be an option that after you did it once you can go back straight back to the nsfw content.
You can unlock the Free Mode for 5000 points in the shop, which lets you view the poses.
Amazing game I love these types of horror but also NSFW, how many scenes are there?
Currently three, but I shall be working on more in a future update.
the medallion almost never works
The Medallion only really works with "headshots" though that can be hard to aim as there's no crosshair. It does still do damage but it's a very small amount.
This game is fantastic!
Thank you!
really? this game only takes two weeks? hard believe
May I ask what is your purpose in developing games, just for passion?
I love making games! I've been making games for a long time and have worked in the industry.
Thank you for your work and hope to bring this kind of joy to more people!I'm learning unity and it's really hard.
absolutely love this game! by far the best horror nsfw game I've played to date. keep up the good work! looking forward to future updates (if any) and projects :D
Thank you! Yes, there is another project in pre-production and a planned update for this game at some point in the future.
The resolution setting doesnt work please fix for better fps its unplayable right now for me
Make sure that the windowed mode isn't set to either Fullscreen or Borderless, otherwise resolution won't do anything.
Most fun horror NSFW game I've played in a while, excited to see more from you!
Thanks! More is definitely planned.
