Evaluation

SHE WAS 98 launched on January 14, 2026 as a self-contained first-person psychological horror game. Within the first week of release, the developer issued a performance patch (January 17, 2026) and added achievements (January 18, 2026). Those are the only two developer communications on record. There are no DLC listings, no announced expansions or future content, no roadmap, and no post-launch update pattern beyond the initial launch-week fixes. The developer has not stated plans for additional content. The game appears to have launched as a complete, finished product with no post-launch content cycle. At the time of the previous evaluation (June 2026), a "recently launched" flag was applied due to uncertainty — but that window has now closed (today is July 16, 2026, more than six months after the January 14, 2026 release), and the silence since January 18, 2026 confirms there is no ongoing development activity to speak of. This game shipped as a finished experience.

About this game

“SHE WAS 98” is a first-person psychological horror with a creepy, pressurizing atmosphere.

You are a young man, the grandson of an almost century-old grandmother who is living out her days in her once cozy but long dilapidated apartment. Her relatives have long ago withdrawn from her, the medics speak of “senile dementia”, but you come to care for her - out of duty? Or in the hope that after her death the apartment will be left to you?

Everything starts as a routine: pills by the hour, quiet evenings, the smell of dust and mothballs. But grandma's acting, uh. strange. Sometimes she looks at you like she doesn't recognize you. Sometimes she looks at you like she sees someone else. At night you wake up to her footsteps behind the wall. Or is that not her?

"SHE WAS 98" is a story of fear, self-interest and payback. The line between victim and hunter blurs, and every step you take brings you closer to a secret that might be better left unknown.
