About the Game

Linear single-player game with puzzles and alternate endings.

Control Ella and explore the rooms of the house, solving puzzles to progress and escape before becoming the creature's next victim. Read files to understand what is happening and decide whether all of this is real or a product of Ella's imagination. If possible, find a way to confront the creature instead of just running away.

Trapped in a strangely familiar room, Ella feels she is not alone. While searching for a way to escape, she tries to understand what is happening, how she ended up there, and what this thing that lurks is, while also trying to determine if it is all real or just a creation of her own imagination.

In a game that blends exploration, point-and-click, and lots of mystery, help Ella survive this night and escape from this nightmare.
