Description
A modular Unreal Engine framework for horror, story-driven, and atmospheric games.

Bound Horror Framework is a plug-and-play foundation designed to help you build horror and narrative-focused games faster, without locking you into a specific gameplay style.

Whether you’re creating a small indie horror experience or a larger story-driven project, Bound Horror Framework gives you the core systems you need so you can focus on atmosphere, gameplay, and storytelling.
