About the Game

🎩 Beyond the screen, a man who should not know you is watching.
His name is Liotte.
From inside the television, he speaks to you — as though he has been waiting for your arrival.

“What would you say to someone who is obsessed with you?”

Channel 453 is a one-on-one interactive visual novel that explores trust, anxiety, obsession, and the meaning of “true love.”

The kindness in front of you may not remain kindness.
Behind devotion lies something deeper — loneliness… or something far more unsettling.
