There is no salvation, yet move forward with will - "Check up, Contain, Control"
Narrative-adventure game where you contain "Anomalies" secretly and prevent the world’s end.
Influenced by the "SCP Foundation" and "Cthulhu Mythos," the game offers a blend of unease and curiosity as you delve into a bizarre and disturbing world, eventually uncovering hidden truths.
Check up and Contain "Anomalies"
"Anomaly" is a object with strange properties. They might be visibly monstrous creatures, or they could appear to be ordinary items with hidden abilities.
As a member of a secret organization that contains these anomalies, your duty is to freely explore the city and gather information about them.
Investigations sometimes require skills such as "knowledge," "negotiation," and "combat." Depending on the level of your skills, the information you obtain, relationships with other characters, and even the story's outcome may change.
Loops of the Apocalypse and Branching Universes
With the apocalypse caused by unknown anomaly at hand, there is little time left to investigate the causes and methods to solve it.
However, you possess an anomalous ability to "Time Loop," allowing you to start over from the beginning day no matter how many times you die. Your duty is to make various choices, follow numerous branching universes, and aim for the one and only "True End."
Characters
The Doctor
You, the player. Although you seem to have lost your memory, it is quite common among the organization's personnel, so please proceed with your duties without concern.
Winged Girl "Sera"
The first anomaly you encounter, a girl with wings. She was rescued from being held as an "important research subject" in a certain organization's facility.
