About this game

The Tower on the Borderland is an atmospheric horror game, set in a gargantuan labyrinth.

The Tower is infested with grotesque insects and ghouls, as well as your demonic former squadmates. Meanwhile, a mysterious stranger is on a personal quest towards the Tower as well, carrying a burden that may aid in Erin's desperate attempt to survive.
