Hariti places players in the role of a mother who enters an abandoned Chinese style hospital, scarred by a crisis, in search of her missing daughter. The journey unfolds into a first person psychological horror experience inspired by the ghost stories and folklore that shaped its developers' childhoods, offering a distinct cultural perspective within the genre. The game is scheduled to launch in August 2026, while a free demo is already available on Steam, featuring approximately the first twenty minutes of gameplay.

Developed and published by the three person Chinese indie studio Ghostcase, the project embraces cultural references that are rarely represented on the international stage. Instead of relying on familiar conventions of Western horror, the experience builds its atmosphere around a Chinese hospital, local ghost stories, and traditional folklore, expanding the range of narratives found in the independent horror scene.

The game also offers journalists and content creators an opportunity to explore a horror experience rooted in authentic Chinese cultural traditions. Rather than simply guiding players through another abandoned building, it transforms its setting into a place where regional folklore and long standing supernatural beliefs directly shape the narrative, atmosphere, and the fears players encounter.

Development required the team to make significant changes to ensure the final experience met its creative and technical expectations. Several ideas were reconsidered throughout production, and the original ending was reworked after technical limitations prevented certain gameplay mechanics from reaching the desired level of quality.

Ghostcase acknowledged that those changes remain one of the team's biggest regrets. "The ending of Hariti originally included stealth and chase sequences, but we had to remove all of them due to technical issues. This is still something we regret," said the Ghostcase development and publishing team while discussing the game's cultural roots, the difficult cuts made during development, and the nightmare set inside an abandoned hospital that serves as the backdrop for its upcoming first person horror game.
