How it feels

A tense first-person survival horror experience where you navigate an abandoned college, solve puzzles, and manage relationships with obsessive antagonists to escape or gain their favor.

What players say

Players compare it heavily to Saiko no Sutoka but appreciate being able to choose between a male and female yandere, each with distinct lore. The voice acting gets praise for being lively, though many note the game feels early in development with room to grow.
