(Recommended for Ages 13+)

Cabin of the Cackling Man is an interactive horror experience inspired by creepypastas, 1980s urban legends, and retro video games.

Blending a fully playable video game with a physical environment, the experience unfolds across two connected spaces: the cabin itself, and a strange video game found within it.

“Legend of Ultira” was supposed to be released in 1989 for the NES, but every known copy was destroyed and the company that developed it disappeared.

Decades later a copy of the game finally turns up in a long-abandoned cabin, along with a dead body and references to an urban legend known as “The Cackling Man.”

Whatever happened here is about to happen again. Something has awakened in the woods, and it’s coming for you. You can already hear the cackling.

You will need to explore the space, interact with the game, and decide how to proceed as events unfold. The experience features multiple endings shaped by the choices you make along the way.

Can you solve the mystery behind a cursed video game and a strange occult ritual before midnight? Or will you be the next victim of the Cackling Man?
