Hidden: On the Trail of the Ancients

According to some aboriginal records thousands of years ago, even before the dawn of mankind, there existed a forbidden city. As Tomas Farrell, an anthropologist from The University of Buenos Aires, you will be summoned to take part in a 1934 expedition into the Patagonian forest in search of this city. But you will soon discover that not everything goes as planned, as the place holds a previously unknown horrifying secret.

Originally announced as a single, standalone game before being split into two parts.
