Matriarch
A downloadable game for Windows
Set in Wurzburg, Germany within an eerie mansion, under the name Metzger and built using the hands of slaves, houses the story of a family bloodied and stained in tragedy, where a son searches for answers.
A misread malevolent supernatural being roams the mansion for their next meal and is usually heard shrieking or crying during the night. It is hard to differentiate between anger and sadness…
As the son explores and survives within the mansion, he discovers his family’s history of abuse, wrath and who the Matriarch really is.

N.B. This is a reupload of a game I personally contributed to extensively more than others, however they decided to remove me as an author for no justifiable reason. Feel free to ask for more info!

I take it you are referring to the upload hosted on Highland Forge Games’s page as the one your credit was removed from.
Yes, this was a university project so in hindsight it would've been better to upload the game originally through the institution's own itch account; live and learn I guess.
I was also responsible for writing and formatting the original upload to itch, so it wasn't difficult to bring it over here where I no longer need to associate with them anymore when linking the game.
