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...

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.
