A tense, story-driven horror RPG where you explore a dreamlike underwater world, teaming with a demon to uncover a dark curse.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and 90s anime style, along with the creepy horror atmosphere that avoids jump scares. The game is short, around two hours, and some find the puzzles too obscure or the voice acting off-putting. Reviews split on the story and main character, but many see promise. Frequent crashes and high memory usage are common complaints.
