While we got the unfortunate news that “The Occultist,” from Daedalic Entertainment, has been delayed to 2026, we got the exciting news of a new title announcement that is slated to arrive later this year. Daedalic Entertainment and developer One-O-One Games have announced “The Fading of Nicole Wilson,” a story-driven folk-horror adventure that dares players to uncover a dark and thrilling mystery. The game, which explores themes of authenticity, sacrifice, and the cost of fitting in, will be released on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
In “The Fading of Nicole Wilson,” players take on the role of Brit, a teenager feeling trapped in her small-town life, who takes on a ghost-hunting job at the abandoned Timberline Hotel, hoping to make a name for herself. But when her employer is suddenly hospitalized, she is left alone to investigate. What starts as a routine paranormal inquiry quickly spirals into something far more sinister. Armed with her camera and ghost-hunting gear, Brit must navigate the hotel’s eerie halls, uncover its hidden past, and confront a chilling truth no one has ever told before.
With immersive 3D sound (binaural audio), exploration-based gameplay, and a gripping narrative, “The Fading of Nicole Wilson” blends supernatural horror with emotional storytelling. Players will piece together unsettling clues, solve puzzles, and experience a haunting world inspired by folk horror.
“The Fading of Nicole Wilson” is available now to Wishlist on Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox.
