About This Game

A prison does not always need walls.

In 3077, an ancient machine beneath the Moon is still recording human births and deaths. An anomalous bulletin connects everyday life on Mars to memories that should no longer exist. Follow the characters into a system of reincarnation, examining evidence and choices as you ask who owns a consciousness—and what freedom might require.

Read, investigate, reconsider

  • A lunar bulletin prologue and a complete 37-chapter story, presented through cinematic 2D environments, character portraits, and selective animation.
  • Open documents, compare evidence cards, and keep notes. Layered hints and a guided mode let you work through clues at your own pace.
  • Pause, replay, and inspect key moments in a nine-second recording. The details remain the same; your understanding may change.
  • Everyday choices leave local echoes. The main story has one complete ending, followed by three thematic evidence retrospectives.

Your own reading pace

Use auto-read, skip previously read text, revisit reached chapters, adjust text size and spacing, or select static presentation. Autosave, six manual slots, and JSON save import/export help you continue your journey. Eight music tracks, ambient sound, and interaction effects accompany text dialogue. There is no character voice acting.

Play offline in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, German, or French. The initial language follows your primary system language, falling back to English when unsupported; manual selection is remembered. All story text and assets are included. Translations are AI-assisted drafts and have not received native-language literary editing.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Generative AI was used during production to help write and revise narrative, dialogue and interaction text; generate environments, character portraits and cover art; and assist translation and music-synthesis programming. The music was rendered offline from custom synthesis code, while ambience and effects are synthesized locally. All narrative and translations are included in the game. No generative AI runs during play, and this release contains no synthetic speech or character voice acting.
