A slow, atmospheric first-person exploration through a dark forest, guided by a mysterious book and whispering flowers while carrying a tense, story-rich survival horror feel.

What players say

Players describe this as a very short, atmospheric horror game based on MZLFF's song, with great music and art. Some report performance issues, and one review notes the lack of achievements and Chinese language support.
