About the Game

"This is an irreversible experience. You can't unlearn it."

A 2D exploration/horror game starring the Touhou Project's Koishi Komeiji.
Use her Third Eye to explore a mental world entirely unlike reality.

Rely on the Third Eye to Progress


By using Koishi's Third Eye, find or obtain things hidden in the mental world.
But the more you use it, the more bloodshot her Third Eye becomes.
Relieve it using eyedrops before the Eye goes all red.

The Protagonist

Koishi Komeiji

A girl who reads the thoughts of others. Fearing her Third Eye, she's spent most of her life alone, locked up in her room.
She's a living being, and must have had parents, but they are nowhere to be seen. Her sister has left her all alone. What could she be up to?
One night, however, Koishi wakes up in an unfamiliar room, and her life is changed forever.

Characters

Koishi's older sister. Avoids people and lives with animals.

The Girl in Blue

A poor girl who thinks she can pull off anything.

Reisen Udongein Inaba

Lots of friends!
Try talking to the shopkeepers and working kids too!
