About This Game

About This Game

## The Story

Trace the distorted truth of the protagonist. Wounded inner thoughts and memories you wanted to deny will begin to tighten their grip on you.

Key Features:

  • 3-Chapter Structure: Follow the protagonist’s journey to recover lost memories through chapters set in a Hospital, School, and Home.

  • Psychological Pressure and Plot Twists: Cooperate with allies, only to face the shocking truths hidden behind them.

  • Horror Direction: Classic jump scares combined with a heavy, soul-shaking narrative.

Developer’s Note:

I’ve strived to capture the raw cruelty of reality. Beyond just being a "scary game," I hope this serves as an opportunity to look at the world from the perspective of those suffering in pain. The content can be quite disturbing, so please be mentally prepared before playing.

## Psychological Survival & Puzzles

Simply finding the path is not enough. You must manage three core psychological indicators that haunt your sanity as you delve into the grim truth.

  • Stress (⚡): Sharp tension numbs your senses. As stress reaches its limit, progressing normally becomes impossible, eventually leading you down a path of ruin.

  • Depression (💧): The swamp of deep helplessness makes every step heavy. As depression consumes you, the world grows darker, drawing you closer to a tragic end.

  • Karma (👁️): Every small choice you make accumulates into a heavy 'Karma.' This invisible burden will ultimately dictate the final fate you must face in the decisive moment.

## Key Features

  • Real-time Stat Management: Monitor your psychological state through a meticulously designed UI and balance your stats using situational items and actions.

  • Puzzles: Engage with unique puzzles and environmental gimmicks that challenge your perception.

  • A Grim Modern Fairytale: A cruel yet beautiful narrative crafted specifically for an adult audience.

  • Psychological Pressure: Symbolic and grotesque imagery that delivers a deeper sense of dread than direct gore ever could.

  • Multiple Endings: Over five brutal conclusions determined entirely by the weight of your choices.

  • Unique Artwork: A bizarre and overwhelming atmosphere created through a distinct blend of static illustrations and immersive text.
