With them, players can optimize their equipment, increasing their chances of survival in the uncertain and dangerous game world. The inventory in the game allows for combining items, sorting, deleting, etc.



"The Two Worlds in the Game" is a unique aspect of gameplay that offers players the opportunity to explore both a typical, ordinary world and a dark, frightening space covered with biomass. The first world is the abandoned house on Whispering Lane Street, while the second world is an unknown and dangerous space, full of mysterious creatures and threats. These two worlds are contrasting but interconnected spaces that create a rich and multi-dimensional experience for players.



"The Item Viewing System" is an innovative feature that allows players to examine various items available in the game in detail. With this system, players can closely examine each item, rotating it, zooming in, and even interacting with it from different angles.

The enemies in the game have undergone significant improvements compared to the previous production, Apartment 1406. Rigidbody features have been added, contributing to more realistic animation and interaction with the environment. Their artificial intelligence has been strengthened, allowing them to detect the player at certain angles and block attacks, requiring players to take a more strategic approach to combat.

The dark graphics and two worlds in the game - one normal and the other covered in biomass - are key elements that create a unique atmosphere and depth in the game.
