About This Game

-Game Synopsis-

After being ruled by aliens,
humanity has become "maggots."

They call themselves the "Upper Ones,"
while humans are referred to as the "Lower Ones."

——

A lifetime of being exploited to the bone
in the factories of this underground world,
forced to eat flesh and blood.

And you,
as one of the millions of humans...

"I want to go up to the surface and see..."
"I want to taste fresh food..."

...

In this damp, dark, and gray world,
having a house is already a blessing in disguise!

——

Will you choose the girl you saved,
or the mysterious uninvited guest?

Or will you stay true to your original goal...

Choose the "Human Rights Voucher."

^^

-Character Bio-

Xingzhi

Once kept as a pet by an Outer One,

after its owner died, it unexpectedly inherited the owner's property,

and became the owner of this house.

It is currently saving up hard to buy a Human Rights Voucher.

Ku Yi

As a pet, she was brutally tormented by a cruel Upper One.

On the verge of death, she was rescued by Xingzhi.

It seems that as long as she has Xingzhi, she can go on living.

Qi Qian

A mysterious mover who appeared out of nowhere.

She seems to be connected to the various unsettling signs occurring underground.

No one knows what secrets she carries.

- About This Game -

Rotten flesh. Rancid meat. Aren't you tired of eating them yet?

When you grip the trembling blade, and the faces of those "Outer Ones" are reflected in the steel—

have you ever wondered what *they* might taste like?

^^

"House of Maggots"is a visual novel game with elements of gore. Players will take on the perspective of Xingzhi and, through choice-based interactions, seek out the best ending in her life.

— Will you choose "Ku Yi" the one you saved from a life of suffering?

Or "Qi Qian," who will join you in consuming sin and defying the system?

As you play, you will uncover their backgrounds and motives, and as your relationships with them evolve, guide the story toward completely different routes and endings.
