A slow, creeping dread set to a retro computer screen, where every click deepens your mind's unraveling as you barter with cosmic horrors.

What players say
Players call it a standout free visual novel with strong Lovecraftian and 90s internet atmosphere, but some find the writing preachy and anachronistic. The story revolves around hacker protagonist and artificial minds, with multiple endings based on choices.
