WARNING

A world between memory and nightmare.
Environment
Explore a frozen, forgotten reality inspired by the quiet landscapes and architecture of the post-Soviet era.
Covered in winter silence, abandoned locations hide between reality and dreams. From empty corridors buried in darkness to impossible dreamscapes that defy logic, every place tells a story without words.
A deeply atmospheric experience where sound, isolation, and the unknown create a constant feeling of tension. The deeper you travel, the more the boundary between reality and imagination begins to disappear.
Story
You awaken in a world that should not exist.
Lost in an unfamiliar place, you encounter a mysterious girl who seems connected to this strange reality. Together, you begin a journey through a series of nightmares, searching for answers hidden deep within this endless dream.
But the further you go, the more you realize that escaping this place may not be the only challenge.
Fear and Survival
Fear does not always come from what you can see.
This journey is built around instinct, adrenaline, and survival. Every sound, every shadow, and every unexpected encounter can trigger your deepest fears.
Strange entities, distorted realities, and unexplained events will challenge your perception of what is real and force you to trust your instincts.
Stay alert. The nightmare is always watching.
Gameplay
Explore carefully, investigate your surroundings, and uncover secrets hidden throughout the world.
Solve environmental puzzles, find clues, and use mysterious purple glasses that reveal details invisible to ordinary vision.
Survival depends not on strength, but on awareness. Learn the rules of the nightmare, adapt to its dangers, and find a path forward before the dream consumes you.
Atmosphere and Sound
The world is shaped by more than what you see.
A haunting ambient soundtrack, detailed sound design, and moments of silence create a deep emotional atmosphere where every sound has meaning. The music becomes part of the journey — building tension, amplifying fear, and making every location feel mysterious and alive.
