About the Game

With the onset of summer, the mother brings the child to the village, to the house of the recently deceased grandmother. The building has been empty for a long time, and the family needs to put it in order. Shortly before the trip, a strange letter arrives from a psychiatric hospital, but it is mistaken for a mistake.

The car gets stuck on the way. Mom goes to look for help and doesn't come back. The hero goes on a search and notices a female silhouette in the forest, which disappears every time. Soon, the boy finds his grandmother's house.

A new day is coming. But this is where the nightmare begins to unfold.

At night, footsteps are heard, doors open by themselves, and rooms look different than before. The hero sees his grandmother more and more often and gradually finds traces leading to events related to the psychiatric hospital and his own past.

To find out the truth, he will have to go outside the village.

During the passage, the player will:

- Search for key items and unlock new areas

- solve puzzles related to family history

- study patient records and documents

- Relive scenes of harassment
