"Welcome home. Don't worry — you are perfect."
You wake without a name, without a past, inside a house that knows you too well.
They call themselves family. They smile without stopping. They cut your nails and collect the clippings in a glass jar.
Something is being counted. You are part of the arithmetic.
Everliving Town is a gothic narrative puzzle game about the violence of being loved by the wrong people. Navigate a sealed village governed by an ancient "balance" — where every life is a weight on the scale, and someone must always be subtracted.
Hand-drawn gothic art
Every frame is a page from a naturalist's nightmare. Monochrome ink meets deep rose — no two scenes look the same.
Logic woven into story
Puzzles emerge from the world's own rules. Decode symbols, collect specimens, and let the town's internal logic betray its secrets. Explore rooms, combine objects, and uncover secrets hidden in everyday items
An unreliable mirror
A voice in the reflection remembers what you have forgotten. Trust it — or don't. The truth shifts depending on who is watching.
Six endings, one number
245. It appears everywhere. Only in a second playthrough will you understand why it was always already about you.
No one is born original. Life echoes, loops in used skin.
