Siren Head Resurrection

Siren Head Resurrection

A group of young cave divers went missing. The local ranger does not respond to radio calls. The park is quite away from civilization and there is no one in the area. A storm will hit the valley in the coming hours and the whole area will be covered with thick fog. You have to act fast.

Siren Head Resurrection is a solo, indie, fan made game. The project started only as a short teaser and received a great positive feedback from the community. The game was in development for 8 months and was designed with replayability in mind.

Recommended hardware is targeted for 1080p resolution at 60fps average.

You may need to restart the game for some settings to take effect.

Performance Guide

1. Lightning is the most intense graphical process in the game. Reducing quality from High to Medium has the most significant impact on performance (Low will disable lightning processing)
2. Reducing the view distance and foliage can save additional frames
3. Resolution scale affects the rendering resolution and also contribute to performance savings
4. Other settings have minor impact on performance and are mainly focused on less capable hardware, where every frame counts

*Some scenes can be more graphically demanding than others. If you are sensitive to frame drops, adjust the settings accordingly.
