About the Game

Four ancient elemental monsters sealed in the past—Fire, Water, Earth, and Air—have grown stronger and returned to the world. They haunt people, taking over their minds in order to achieve absolute power. As catastrophic events unfold, Ethan, an investigator, goes into the field, follows the trail, and tries to determine what monster we are facing. If we perform the right ritual, we can stop the monster… but one wrong diagnosis or mistake could be our end. Gather the right clues, recognize the right monster, perform the right ritual. Otherwise, the ritual will kill you.

  • What you need to know about monsters; how you can catch them, how to destroy them, what rituals you need to perform and how to perform these rituals will be written in the file.

  • Some of the items you will need will be with you, and you will be able to find some of them at the event area.

  • You're not always alone...at least not as long as the radio works.

  • There are 4 monsters and 4 places you will go. There will be a different monster in each place you go. You will find which monster you are facing by following the clues, if you cannot find the right monster it will mean your death.

  • You can follow the clues by walking around the house, and if you manage to activate the cameras, you can also follow the clues from the camera.

  • In general, a reactionary atmosphere will prevail.

  • You will be able to hear the events that took place in the place from the recorded audio recordings and understand the story, and maybe you can also find clues about the monster in these audio recordings.

  • In general, in the experience; you will be trying to solve puzzles in the middle of a reactionary atmosphere, following clues, communicating with the monster from time to time, understanding the events that have happened in the place before, and at the end of the game, you will be performing the correct ritual with the help of all your deductions.
