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.
