Dorotea

Dorotea is a diagonal-down horror adventure set with a pixel art style set in the Italian city of Conversano. The protagonist, Dorotea, is a researcher specializing in the history of her hometown. With an important event just a few days away, she is called to work early in the morning to finish cataloging artifacts stored in a room that has been sealed for 40 years.

The player controls Dorotea through different settings. The story is linear and features exploration as well as some action-survival moments. The player can move Dorotea around the various environments and interact with people or sparkling items using the single action key required to play the game.

Some events and interactions are presented with full-screen images. Dialog boxes appear when Dorotea reflects on what is happening around her or when she speaks with other NPCs. Her emotions are also conveyed through the avatar displayed inside the dialog box.
