About the game.
Step into the dark halls of a once-respected museum now consumed by something unseen. You play as Alicia, a restoration student called in by her professor after a mysterious incident. What begins as a routine visit quickly turns into a descent into fear, manipulation, and psychological collapse.
Armed with a cursed hand, you can absorb souls trapped within corrupted relics. These souls unlock sealed paths, power ancient mechanisms, and allow you to solve ritual-based puzzles hidden throughout the museum. But every soul you carry comes at a cost.
The more souls you hold, the faster your sanity drains.
As your mind weakens, paranormal events intensify. And when your sanity falls too low, something begins to hunt you. A relentless entity can appear anywhere in the museum — emerging without warning, pursuing you through its corridors, and vanishing just as suddenly.
Managing risk is survival.
Use ritual vessels to store souls, seek safe rooms to recover your sanity, decipher ancient clues, and decide how much power you are willing to carry before it turns against you.
Uncover the truth buried beneath the museum. Question what is real. And confront the one who orchestrated it all.
