Bestow is a game about haunted landscapes, intergenerational trauma and family curses. Players take the role of siblings, visiting their old family home after an estranged relative has vanished. When they encounter evidence of sinister activities and a dark presence inhabiting the home, they must come to terms with the true nature of their family history and ultimately find a way to lay the past to rest. Bestow is inspired by Gothic and folk horror media such as Hereditary, Sator, Mexican Gothic, The Haunting of Hill House and Old Gods of Appalachia. The game shares a mechanical structure with Brindlewood Bay and its derived family of games that are “Carved from Brindlewood”. You do not need to be familiar with these games in order to play.
