Siren Head Resurrection


A group of young cave divers went missing. The local ranger does not respond to radio calls. The park is quite away from civilization and there is no one in the area. A storm will hit the valley in the coming hours and the whole area will be covered with thick fog. You have to act fast.

Siren Head Resurrection is a solo, indie, fan made game. The project started only as a short teaser and received a great positive feedback from the community. The game was in development for 8 months and was designed with replayability in mind.

Every time you start a new game, quest items and puzzle solutions may change! Changes are also affected by selected difficulty and found secrets. Your progress may be different from other players...

Requirements

  • CPU 3.2GHz 4Cores 64bit
  • GPU
    • Medium GTX1060 / RX570
    • High GTX1070Ti / RX5600
  • RAM 8GB
  • HDD 6GB of free space (installation of additional system libraries might be required before launching the game)

Recommended hardware is targeted for 1080p resolution at 60fps average. Low details can drastically decrease level of fidelity, but can provide significant boost in performance for less capable hardware.  The game will try to determine the best possible settings  for the installed hardware the first time it starts.
You may need to restart the game for some settings to take effect.

Performance Guide

  1. Lighting is the most intense graphical process in the game. Reducing quality from High to Medium has the most significant impact on performance (Low will disable lighting processing)
  2. Reducing the view distance and foliage can save additional frames
  3. Resolution scale affects the rendering resolution and also contribute to performance savings
  4. Other settings have minor impact on performance and are mainly focused on less capable hardware, where every frame counts

*Some scenes can be more graphically demanding than others. If you are sensitive to frame drops, adjust the settings accordingly.

Bro... Just upload it to steam and i can guarantee you this game will on the top ten wishlist🙏📝. Great VERY GREAT 😊😊👍 GAME BRO. Also I have a question... Is this game made on ue5 unity or ue4??

(+1)

You are the inspiration for me. I also have a plan of making a grand game like this one.

Thank you very much. It means a lot. It’s great to hear someone enjoy the thing you put yourself into.

This game is made by n UE4

You have really good talent bro.. Did you also do the animations too.

I know how hard it is to script, animate etc. 

yes I did. 

some of them were hand made in blender using IK, some of them were captured using my homemade lowcost mocap system :) and specific animations are pocedural using post process realtime update to respect physical obstacles

yo can i do something like i did a move make a vedio of that and it automattically take it as animation?

Looks interesting. Will you add a passive ai gameplay option? Like how soma has a similar option for the ai

I am very impressed by the quality of this game.
I would love to know who the creator is, but couldn't find more info about you. You are such an inspiration!

Thank you very much. It's always nice to hear that someone likes something you've made

very good game with a nice grafic and a beautiful story.

thank you

game multeplayer ?

I am sorry. No plans for multiplayer

Bro can you make Mobile Version of this game Siren Head Resurrection 🙂❔

I would love to but optimization is nightmare and making touch input to work nicely with the fame might be tricky

I can't go in the mine because is blockEd by a structure, anyone knows how to solve this puzzle?

Take a look around the well ;)

(+1)

thank you 😊 BTW great game!

(+1)

cool game bro

(+1)

thank you

Oh also, not sure if you are already aware, but it is possible to lean through the watchtower window and grab the shotgun and wirecutters without unlocking the door.

nice catch I’ll try to tweak the physics more.

Update might took a while because I lost some data after HW failure :(

Very Awesome Game


best of all ITS FREE 


my man is a GIGACHAD

Hi, I just wanted to ask if my progress is kept upon updating to latest version, or do i have to play the game from start?

All updates are compatible. You should be able to continue from your save without any problem.

Thanks for the scares and frustration.. we got far to lost in this game and barely scratched the surface...  DAMN if you have not put some cool lore/hidden stuff etc into this :D
(+1)

thanks for playing, gonna check the playtrough soon

best and most realistic siren head game ever

Hi,

This game runs fine solo for me. I can download it and it runs and plays fine.

However if I try to run it from the ITCH.IO APP, it fails apparently seeking a VC++ runtime, which asking to install says it uninstalls, and simply does nothing. Not sure how to get ITCH.IO to address this or fix it, or if this is some integration issue so I thought I’d ask here.

Great game BTW really enjoying this.

Thanks for letting me know. I’ll try to investigate it further and probably get in contact with itch.io dev team

(+1)

Hi,

I did update this game today and it’s working fine from the itch app now.

Thanks!

(-2)

i dowloaded this game i even gave extra to the creator and when i went to open the game it took me to WOT Blitz which is a tank game for pc. i cant find anywhere to get help with this. i was completly cheated out of my money

(+1)

Hi, if you dowloaded the game directly from itch.io website make sure to extract the correct file: siren-head-resurrection-win.zip.

If you are still having problems dowloading the game from website I personally recommend using itchio application because of automatic updates and ease of use.

the end !!

Really nice and atmospheric game with many different endings and replay value. I just hoped that it would get dark a little bit sooner. If you want a look at the gameplay:

Part 2

nice game with amazing story

New version, the "invert y axis" setting isn't working.  It doesn't save the setting.

(2 edits)

Everything works as expected on my side. Toggle is saved and properly restored, invert also works in game. If you are still having difficulties try to re-download the game.

Also feel free to join the discord server for bug reporting. There's much higher chance for me to find your messages.

Could older settings be overriding the new settings somehow?  When the game is run, where are the settings files created and stored?  I can check to see if there's old settings files stuck somewhere causing the issue. Do you think maybe because I'm using a wireless xbox series x/s controller the setting isn't saving?  That shouldn't happen though.  I'm no dummy, been a PC gamer for over 20 years.

It's odd.  I even tried running as admin with full screen optimizations disabled to see if that was causing it.  Nothing I've tried works.  The only setting that doesn't save is the invert y axis.

Also the game was downloaded fine, extracted fine, no errors at all.  It isn't the download that is the problem.

Yeah man I don't know what to say.  The invert y axis setting does not save.  It's the only setting that doesn't save.  I go into settings, add the checkmark to the setting, load my game, it's not working.  I quit to main menu, go into settings, and it's unchecked again.  It's not me.  The setting isn't working.

Okay so I found the save and settings folder in appdata/local, completely deleted it, redownloaded the game, then tried again, and it simply does not work.  The invert y axis setting does not work.  It does not save.  It does not affect gameplay at all.  I've done everything I could here, I've tested it multiple times.  Your invert y axis setting is broken and does not work.  I don't know what else to say.  Guess I'll look for something else to play today.  Thanks for the effort anyhow.

I bumped the build number and re-upload it. Than I download it form itch on a different PC just to make sure it's independent from my local build. I tried mouse, x-box controller and remapped ps3 controller. I also sent a link to my friend for a test and she confirms that it's working for her. 

I updated uploading tool right before original 1.7 upload so something might mismatched when generating patch from 1.6 to 1.7 (my local 1.7 worked as expected)

If by any chance you are going to try it, please let me know if it works now.

Deleted both the old download and the settings/save files from appdata (just to rule it out), downloading new version and will report back.  Thanks!

That fixed it!  Invert Y axis worked this time.  Saved and shut down game, restarted game to see if it was still working and it indeed was.  I can't thank you enough for making this work for controller fully.  I really think you got a great game on your hands and should definitely upload it for sale on Steam in the future when your vision of the game is complete.  Some personal suggestions of mine for it...

1. Smoother navmesh for less jittery movement in-game.

2. Watchtower duty ( incorporate a night-shift job at a watchtower, where you can witness creepy things happening at night.  Have a spotlight you could aim and point at things moving in the dark.  Have things you can do in the watchtower: A small TV playing Night of the Living Dead or some other public domain horror movies, a handheld videogame with tetris to play, a dart board, a wildlife magazine to read, a radio with a pubic radio station of some crazy conspiracy guy who talks about the land and sightings on the land.  Any other immersive things a watchtower guard would do.

3. More cryptids to see: Wendigo, Giant troll, Mothman, Bigfoot etc.

4. Bike trail + Mountain bike for getting around fast (could also incorporate some intense chase sequences with it)

5. Underground bunkers to explore

I personally would love the watchtower night shift.  After playing Firewatch and Do You Copy I've been fiending an interactive watchtower horror experience with immersive things to do inbetween the scary bits.

Maybe some of these things are in the game already?  I have no idea, as I just started playing it, but you definitely have something great here, and would love to see this turn into a full paid experience and would definitely buy a copy on steam (if and when that would happen of course).  Do you have more plans for the game or plan on releasing on steam in the future?  If so I could help with finding voice actors, public domain content to use etc.  I do these things currently for my audio dramas and my 24/7 music streams I have on youtube, twitch and dlive.  Shoot me an email if you like:  Brandomanmods@protonmail.com

I am glad it works now. Well yes, some of those things already are in the game, but there are some very interesting ideas to consider ;) For future updates unfortunately I need to focus on some projects at my work so most probably no new content for next few months…

so far so good I love this game I am currently recording for my channel, but I’m having an issue with the red box in the north cave. I have both pictures and as I go through the numbers nothing happens maybe I’m doing this wrong 

message me on discord/twitter I will help you

Nooo!!!!!!

Can you please put it so you can play it on Linux!

I wanted to play this game!!!!!!! (PLEASE) :(

Linux has a 2.4% share of the desktop OS market, I can't see it making sense to make a Linux version...

Hi. First of all - great game! Especially if it is a solo project - that really impressive!!
And here is my question: in the chapter "Siren in the Mine" i`ve reached the mine, opened it with a key and then there is nothing active, besides that interesting lock( but it seems i cannot interact with it) and one pick up item. have i missed something or further game is still in process?

You must find a way to get over the container that is blocking your way (2 solutions).

Electric lock is really interesting but it’s a part of another secret ;)

I`ve done that. But I`ve missed that object that I should interact to proceed. And now I am going further. So thanks for letting me know that i should be  more watchful. And about the electric lock...i`l live it for the second walkthrough =)

I love this great game! Thank you!

thanks for playing

How do you solve the clock puzzle? I tried brute forcing it but it still didn't work. Dunno how im supposed to actually get the answer either :/

Message me on discord or twitter. No spoilers in comments section ;)

alrighty! I added ya :)

My discord is AwesomeTaco#9117 btw

I have started playing recently after watching a youtuber. I have spent over 50 hours trying to solve this puzzle also and am stumped.

Did you ever figure out the clock puzzle i've spent about 50 hours stumped on this one.

(1 edit)

yeah the game wont download, might be a problem on my end but any ideas? I'm on a windows computer, and yesterday I was able to download it but all I got was an empty zip file.

Sometimes the itch.io servers are down so hopefully it will be resolved soon

(1 edit)

yeah I can't seem to download any other itch games so that may be the problem.

For anyone with ultrawide, I think I found a slight fix for the fov issue. The configs are located in AppData\Local\SirenHead\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor. Open engine.ini and add

[/script/engine.localplayer]

AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV

(1 edit)

Thanks for this.  I've just tested it.  However....

I found that the picture is squashed top and bottom, as if the horizontal axis is correct but because the monitor is ultra-wide the picture tries to squash everything into the available space, hence squashing the image vertically.

Interestingly enough when I took a screenshot of the game and pasted the result it looks perfect.   So maybe the engine is trying to project the correct image into a more 'letterbox' shape.

Examples;

In-game it looks like this;

But when I take a screenshot and paste the result it looks fine:

Just started the game and i can't grab the battery for the life of me. It's stuck between meshes. I noticed i grabbed too many items and even then, i should be able to delete an item and get the battery. frustrating! it's a bug for beginning the game

You should definitelly be able to grab battery even if it is stucked in environment. Every inspecatbale item has disabled collision response during inspection. Please send me pic/video if you are able to capture it. 

Not sure about what do you mean by grabbing/deleting multiple items. You can grab as many items as you want and only non quest related items can be discarded.

Oh ok thank you for that response. Well when i just started the game, i tried to grab battery and it would loop to my inventory for some odd reason.  Then i figured, "oh maybe i can delete items or maybe my inventory is full. ill try and delete an item". it wasn't the case. I really wanted to get into the game but that stopped me after trying for 30 min. frustrating but ill try and record video right now. 

Sorry for my bird. he's very talkitive lol

Don’t worry :) When the game is opening an inventory it means it want you to interact using an item from inventory. Like door and key. If you read the log you will find out that this battery is discharged and needs to be replaced. Fortunatelly there is one near the cabin (search outside, it’s very close).

Thank you :)

(1 edit)

This is not the one you can pick up straight away, it is outside the cabin.

Thank you

Honest Review, I really love the looks of the game, they way you get trown into the Game and the Story unfolds slowly in front of you being afraid of the Unknown is Great. The Puzzles are Fair even if i managed to miss the Second picture because its so dark in there and because im blind. The only thing is the "climax" at the Factory is kinda ... meh. Hes just standing there making noise in the middle of the day looking at you but not getting you, it made me lose the build up tension really fast. The thing hunting you just seems so helpless suddenly. Otherwise great game love that it has more then one ending, little secrets and its not just a cicle of random jumpscares. The overall setting is beautifull, Definetly not the Generic "Horrorgame" we usually get, this is much more polished and has more to offer then just some spooky screams in your ears. Would love to see more.

(+1)

The factory area definitely has some flaws in favor of the puzzle part. There are "safe" areas just to give player some time to explore. I am still thinking of ways to make this area more intense, but reasonably playable at the same time. I already have some ideas for the next update.

Oh this game is gettin updated? I always thought it was in it's finale version, super excited to see what ya add/change!

I need help on this puzzle too. After searching everywhere for 2 hours, I still have yet to find the pipe wrench. 

contact me on twitter or discord 

what is your Discord?

show-more #9940

Help please: I'm stuck at the factory. On the place where the wrench supposed to be, I have a note instead (about returning tools)

This is a puzzle. Contact me on discord/twitter if you find it too difficult.

I need to invert the mouse Y axis. How did this oversight even happen? Is there any work-around for this atrocity?

(+1)

Don't worry it will be available in the next update as some players are already requesting it.

The new update released and has the option added.  Could you do me a favor and check to see if it's working or not for you?  It's not working at all for me, the setting doesn't work, and the creator is saying it's just a me problem lol.

(+1)

Hey, Just wanted to let you know we started this on our channel. And even without getting to see Siren Head you had Riku soiling himself. 

Deleted 1 year ago

Wow congrats. It’s ultimate weapon. I want to keep the comments section spoiler free but you can probably imagine on what you can use an ultimate weapon :D

Oh ok thanks :D

Really great game you made my friend. I bought it yesterday or downloaded it and donated and I'm really enjoying the time in it. The character of Siren Head was always interesting to me and I'm glad that someone created a game based on the character. 

I am very glad you enjoy it.  Thank you so much for your donation. I will use it to improve the game. Some tweaks, text fixes, small gameplay improvements and maybe audio upgrade are coming in the next update.

Hello, I played this game cause I have a bit of a history with Siren Head games. But yeah I just say that I was lost beyond believe and that my video speaks for itself.

(6 edits) (+2)

My monitor is an ultrawide 32:9 (5120x1440) and although the game is set to this resolution I feel like I should be able to 'zoom out' a little.   It's too much zoomed in, like the width of the game is the same size as a 16:9 monitor but cropped at the top and bottom. 
I tried changing "Resolution scale" but that didn't make a difference.  Can anyone help please?

Image example...

https://imgur.com/a/0l94F7a

Resolution scale is affecting quality of image (up-scaled resolution). The game is not ultra-wide screen optimized right now (I don't have an ultra-wide screen). I considered the implementation (also invert Y axis) in the next update.

Right know I am trying to figure out how to reach players so I can get some feedback about what would they like to see in the next update.

Ok thanks for your fast feedback.  It's really quite difficult playing with this configuration at the moment so fingers crossed for a solution soon.

(1 edit)

And I've just tested it using my wife's "standard" monitor  and the game looks like it should, I was right by saying the top and bottom are simply cropped instead of having extra screen real-estate.  Compare this screenshot (standard monitor) https://imgur.com/a/iy8c4kI with the link I provided above.  Very, very different.

I have this same problem - I have an Ultra-Wide and it sucks not to be able to play it properly :(  These screens are getting quite popular so I hope you'll consider at least allowing a console command to adjust FOV show-more :)  Thank you very much for the product, donated!!

Horrgakx - you should check out the app "Flawless Widescreen" if you have this issue with other titles that don't have support.

Hi - I need to invert the mouse Y axis, as it stands in the default config I can't play it.   Anyone know?
