Investigations, tormentors, and bodycam survival horror come together in small-town America



[United States] – October 6, 2025 – Red Rock Gaming Studios and indie.io are proud to announce that Bonefield, a realistic bodycam survival horror, will enter Early Access on Steam on October 27, 2025. Players will be able to experience the darkest horrors of backwoods Americana in. Rural Montana has never been this horrifying before…


Players step into the shoes of an out-of-town private investigator pursuing a lead in the titular Bonefield County. What seems like an open-and-shut case of corporate misconduct quickly turns into a desperate fight for survival: He catches the attention of unstoppable tormentors, whose relentlessness is second only to his determination to solve the case and get out alive. 


Players will have to explore the deserted ghost town at the heart of the mystery, with danger lurking behind every corner. The sleepy mountain retreat the investigation starts at is just the beginning: The trail will lead them down foreboding hiking trails, abandoned high schools, and abandoned military bunkers - each brimming with clues that help piece together the horrors that unfolded in the silent shadows of the surrounding mountains. 


Cracking the mystery will require more than just sleuthing: Monsters are in constant pursuit and avoiding them will require quick thinking. There are no convenient stashes or safe rooms. Everything they need to survive in Bonefield County needs to be looted from the environment or crafted in the rare moment of peace using whatever components can be scrounged up from the desolate environment. 


The perspective plays a crucial role: Players experience the investigation from a bodycam’s point of view. The narrower field of view and dirty lens create a claustrophobic atmosphere, while the odd visual artifact plays tricks on the player’s eyes: They can never be certain if that flicker of light in the background is just a camera glitch - or a tormentor about to force the investigator into a desperate fight for his life and dash to whatever passes for safety in Bonefield, MT.


The Early Access release will include the first chapter of Bonefield, set in the Gray Manor, a suburban house where players will be pursued by SawHand, a victim of medical experiments turned tormentor, invisible to the naked eyes save for bursts of blacklight. Player feedback will help refine the experience and nail down any outstanding issues, with the remaining three chapters released over the course of Early Access. A sandbox update is planned for future release, which will allow players to customize the experience with new weapons, puzzles, and additional enemies to face.


Those brave enough to visit rural Montana take heed: Bonefield will enter Early Access on Steam on October 27, 2025.
