The Cabin Factory has a very particular vibe. A spot-the-difference game that mixes my love of games like House Flipper and Phasmophobia into a horrifying amalgamation of horrors beyond manmade comprehension? Sign me right up for this one. There’s a reason it’s been going viral on TikTok and other social media platforms, and I’m beyond excited to learn more.
It’s Like the World’s Most Terrifying Version of I-Spy
A dash of SCP horror, mixed with a dollop of rustic decor. The concept of The Cabin Factory is simple; explore these log cabins as they come down the line as you try to determine if they’re truly haunted or ready to be installed on a plot of land. If it’s safe, give it the green light. Did something inside of this cabin start speaking to you in tongues? There’s a good chance that it may be haunted and should likely not be allowed to move past the production line.

I need this game in my life as soon as possible, please, and thank you. I love games that try to give you the heebie-jeebies through expertly designed environments. Plus, as someone who grew up playing games like I-Spy on the school computers? This is the next logical step forward. I’ve spent enough time playing House Flipper to know that my decorating skills should help me determine the level of haunted these houses should be. If not, my Phasmophobia skills should at least point me in the right direction.
I’m very interested to see what kind of horrors await me within the walls of these cabins. Is it going to rely on jumpscares, or will it be a new extension of psychological horror? Everything I’ve seen has me drooling to finally experience this one for myself.
If you couldn’t tell, I’m all in on these experimental horror games. Games like The Exit 8 terrified me, especially when I was playing in VR. As long as the differences in these cabins will be subtle like they were in The Exit 8, I’m ready to lose more hours than I could imagine to The Cabin Factory.
