About This Demo

You wake up in a dark castle, surrounded by strangers. While searching for an exit, you stumble upon a murder, only to wake up again moments later. The victim is alive. No one remembers you. But the loop continues.

Each reset erases your progress, but your character remembers everything. With every cycle, you gain new knowledge, unlocking new paths of exploration and dialogue routes with characters you meet.

To find the exit, you’ll need to explore the castle’s hidden rooms, solve puzzles, and learn the lore behind the castle’s past.

Features

  • The power to change the future - The future was designed to make you lose, but you have the power to remember past loops. Use your knowledge to alter the timeline to achieve a different future.

  • Timeline simulation - Each character has its own schedule during the loop. As you explore the castle, characters may move between rooms and do certain things depending on the time. Your actions will affect their schedule.

  • No hand-holding - The game respects your intelligence and expects you to piece the clues together on your own. There’s no tutorial fairy to solve your puzzles, and no intrusive UI. Even timekeeping is diegetic, tracked only by the towering clock in the grand hall. Every breakthrough is earned, making each discovery feel truly rewarding.
