A tense, time-limited escape where you navigate mysterious supernatural drama and romantic connection through branching choices.

What players say

Players describe it as a short visual novel with puzzles and a touching BL romance, not a dating sim. The story's twist is mild but emotional for some, though others find it hollow. The game has no voice acting and only one ending.
