Based on a True Story

Every story is true if you want to believe it. You just have to imagine all the possibilities and say that it means something to you. See? Now it's real! Well, this story really, really happened, so you don't have to actually manifest it or anything like that... but, you know, the idea is fascinating, isn't it?

"I only live because my heart never wanted to stop beating."

Psychological Horror

Something follows you in your nightmares. A figure with a white mask, the body is decaying and rotting. Who can you trust? Is everything what it seems? Check every corner, they might be watching you! Do you actually think that this is not real?

"Oh, how wrong you are on that one."

Skill System

You can activate your abilities before every choice you make; it costs prāṇa, your inner strength, so be careful to spend it wisely! ...okay, I hear you. So you are still wondering how there can be this much supernatural stuff in a story that is not a fiction.

"Well, then what do you think is the reason?"

Dating System

We talked about this, so pay attention this time! You will meet people - yes, how fascinating - then you may like them, so to speak. DATE them or something. Well, not everyone. Sometimes, you might get friend-zoned. But hey, it's realistic!

"Love is in your past, present, and future, my Darling - that's why!"

Unlockables

Yes, the bread and butter of every good game, the collections. You are a completionist, I hear. Well, good! You should be, as there is a lot to gather, including memories that contain lore and realities... well, that would be spoilers, so find out for yourself! Achievements, it's awesome, I know. And other secrets, whoa!

"It's about the repetition, we try, we fail, we try, we fail, and repeat - so never stop!"

New Game+

You can start it over, and it will be different! You will carry over your abilities and things you unlocked previously, so you can use this opportunity to get everything 100% on a much faster pace, discover other paths, and much more!

"You know, sometimes I wonder if it's the right path for us..."
