A short, unsettling visual novel where a cheerful ritual descends into a claustrophobic nightmare with jump scares and dark imagery.

What players say
Players describe this as a very short horror visual novel, around 20 to 30 minutes, with two endings. The art style is praised as fitting and unique, but some wish the game offered more interactivity and content.
