Two shows, one room

Which show suits you?

Two separate stories. The Ritual has nothing to do with the missing family; what they share is the room and, largely, the puzzles. So pick one: playing both means solving the same puzzles twice.

The Ritual · the story

A story of its own

The Ritual is not a dark retelling of the missing family. It is a story of its own, with its own beginning, that happens to take place in the same house.
