About the Game

Caution:

To play in English, change the language at the title screen by selecting "X key→Language".

Atmosphere:

The main content is the so-called 3D Mistake Search (99 in all), but players who like side trip content such as appreciation of paintings and mini-games, outlandish endings, difficult scenarios, etc., are welcome to play this game.

Story:

This is an adventurous game in which the male protagonist, rendered unconscious by an accident, wanders around a museum that appears in his dreams and aims to escape (or return alive).
The objective of the game is to search for the meaning of life by repeatedly looping in the museum in his dream and gradually pursuing his own deep psychology and the truth.

Overview:

Using a 3D first-person perspective, the player adventures through a dimly lit museum, utilizing a pocket watch and flashlight.
This is a mistake-finding game where you find places that feel strange (anomalies). The game is cleared when you find anomalies 12 times in a row within the time limit.
There are various storylines with “multi-endings” that branch off into seven endings depending on your actions during play.

Controls:

Mouse controls change the viewpoint, and WASD keys (or spacebar) can be used to move the player.
By “keeping your eyes on your feet” when discovering an anomaly, a moving monster will appear and the player will be transferred to the next stage.

Features:

  • Seven different endings.
  • 45 Anomalies (Mistake Search Points)
  • The first time you clear the game, you can open the Variation Collection (gallery) and Infinity Mode.
  • In the collection, you can browse and re-experience already discovered anomalies.
  • In the Infinity mode, undiscovered anomalies appear.
  • Once all 45 anomalies and endings have been collected, an extra mode is opened by certain operations.
  • In the extra mode, 54 additional anomalies will be added.　A total of 99 anomalies.
  • Three levels of difficulty can be set (the probability of appearance of items with an extended time limit changes).
  • Time required to clear the first time is about 30 minutes.
  • The minimum time required to completely clear (99 pieces) is about 4 hours, and the average is about 7 hours.
  • Volume control, BGM off, Window mode, resolution adjustment, cheat mode installed (functions for distribution)
