About

Step into the shattered mind of a man haunted by his past in this chilling psychological horror puzzle game. Return to the eerie, riddled manor where you once lived with your wife and daughter, a place steeped in tragedy and shadowed by accusations. Imprisoned for a murder you can’t recall committing, you’re drawn back to uncover the truth, battling the relentless grip of schizophrenia that twists your reality with every step. Navigate a series of mind-bending puzzles that test not just your wits, but your sanity. As your mental health unravels, the world around you distorts and nightmares seep into reality. Scavenge for meds to hold the madness at bay, but time is your enemy, and every moment pushes you closer to the edge. With each puzzle you conquer, uncover heartfelt letters from your daughter, addressed to you, piecing together the heartbreaking story of your family’s collapse. Search the manor’s forgotten corners for hidden artifacts that reveal its sinister secrets and the fractured memories you’ve buried deep. As you descend deeper into the manor’s depths, brace yourself for a devastating revelation. This is a journey of guilt, grief, and discovery where every answer comes at a cost.
