About the Game

   You wake up in the nurse's office and soon realize you’re trapped in this unsettling place. The terrifying ghosts of old teachers follow you, trying to keep you here, determined to prevent your escape. Yet, strangely, you have a chance: you’ve been given three lives, as if something is holding them back from a final decision. Perhaps it's an act of mercy due to your young age, or maybe a ritual requires them to relent. It doesn’t matter, for their leniency ends here — one misstep, and they’re ready to complete their mission, leaving no chance of escape.

   In these locked corridors, there’s only one path to freedom. You must help these spirits find peace, so they can return to their world. In return, they’ve promised to give you an essential part of the entrance door, opening the way out. But to complete the ritual, you’ll need to carefully search the school, collect items, and avoid mistakes, as each error could cost you one of your lives.

   The ghosts can’t see you, but they can feel your presence — even through walls at times. Their perception of space differs from a human's, and you’ll notice it in their behavior and shifting colors. So, if you see a ghost, it doesn’t mean they see you. This might seem reassuring, but remember: they can sense your movement at any moment!

   The emergency lighting casts a faint glow that barely reaches each corner, and much of the school is underpowered. You’ll need to find resistors and repair the electrical panel to bring the equipment to life. This will allow you to power up an old printer, which will print out piano sheet music and instructions for the ritual. Whether you escape this school or remain here — among the ghosts — FOREVER depends on you!

Good luck :)
