Sally Face

Sally Face is an adventure game with psychological horror and mystery fiction elements created by Steve Gabry a.k.a.

[1] Sally Face is a point-and-click adventure game that includes narrative, exploration, and puzzle-solving, combined with the direct control of the player via sidescrolling.

Episode 1: Strange Neighbors Sal Fisher, a 15-year-old boy with a prosthetic face, moves with his father to the Addison Apartments building in the town of Nockfell.

In the present, Sal is taken away while Enon visits the treehouse, where he is scared by the ghost of Larry and is killed after he falls from the tree, breaking his neck.

Here they find that the bologna is made of human meat and that Mrs. Packerton's husband is possessed by an unknown entity, who they euthanize.

Sal, Larry, and Todd find that the chute leads to an occult temple underneath the building, where they save Ashley.

Sal and Larry's ghost together work their way through the apartment building, where it is shown in the otherworld that all the residents are overgrown with a strange growth.

When Sal reaches Terrence Addison, the owner of the building who never leaves his room, he finds that a fleshy green mass has possessed him since he was a child.

Sal defeats the mass but an apparition of Terrence tells him he must kill all the infected tenants to end the infestation for good.

Believing Sal is destined to destroy the cult she begins a ritual to revive him and slits her wrist to become a physical host for his spirit, temporarily keeping her alive and giving her special abilities.

[3] In 2016, an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, netting the game $13,697, allowed Steve Gabry to start working on Sally Face full-time.

[5] Adventure Gamers critiques Sally Face for being convoluted and for hiding important story elements behind optional puzzles but ultimately said it "is a worthwhile and wholly unique gaming experience that has to be played to be believed.
