A PS1-era first-person horror set in an abandoned 19th-century English town. The Gentleman walks the lanes — top hat, long greatcoat, faceless. He hears every footfall. Recover three relics from the town’s buildings (a verger’s locket, a blessed iron nail, a vial of communion wine) and place them on the stone altar in the church courtyard to perform the rite of departure. A flintlock and a cane are hidden too, but every shot brings him running.

How to Play Tallowmoor

You spawn at the south end of an abandoned town. Tallowmoor is fog-bound and lit only by gas-lamps and the moon. Somewhere out in the streets, The Gentleman is patrolling. He hears your footsteps before he sees you.

Three buildings circle a market square: the pawnshop (west), the blacksmith (east), and the coaching inn (south, right behind your spawn). Each holds one of the three required relics — plus, optionally, a weapon.

Read the parchment letter on the inn’s bar for the full story. It names every relic and where it sits.

Sprinting is loud, walking is moderate, crouching is nearly silent. Match your noise level to your distance from him.

Place all three relics on the altar in the church courtyard and the candles will light. When all three burn, the rite completes and the gate opens.

You may also kill The Gentleman. The cane (one hit at melee range) chips at him; the flintlock kills in one shot but the noise is enormous — he’ll know exactly where you fired from.

Tallowmoor Strategy Guide

  1. Read the parchment first. The inn is right behind your spawn and the letter tells you everything.
  2. Crouch when he is near. Walking past him at crouch range is survivable; sprinting past him is not.
  3. Listen — his footsteps are 3D positional. Pan your camera to find which direction they’re coming from before deciding which building to push.
  4. Get the cane first if you’re grabbing weapons. It’s silent and gives you a chance against him in a corner.
  5. The flintlock is a panic button, not a hunting weapon. Save it for when he’s already on top of you.
  6. Place relics as soon as you grab them. Even if you die afterward, your candles stay lit on retry... no, they don’t — forget that, every run is fresh. Get all three before crossing the courtyard.
