About the Game

Two planets never collided. They simply became one.

A modern city now overlaps with strange realms, where humans, non-human residents, and creatures with opinions of their own live side by side. You are a sharp-minded young inventor, exploring mostly alone—until your endlessly curious twin sister drags you into unexpected adventures.

Combat-free, timeless exploration

Wander through neighborhoods, old stations, and rooftops. Drift through the spaces where two worlds meet. No enemies chase you. No clocks run down. Follow your own pace, and find the hidden layer beneath familiar corners.

Inventions are keys

Gather materials to craft narrative inventions: repair a streetlamp to open a rooftop path; blend old objects with stardust to read memories the city forgot. No grinding. No abstract crafting tables—every invention changes how you see what you thought you knew.

Understand them, don't farm them

A shrewd but kind landlady. A mysterious elder who becomes a toy to listen closer. Reliable non-human friends. Even the City Watch is chasing the same truth; sometimes your paths cross, and you share a glance across ruins—not as enemies, but as fellow seekers. Build understanding (not affection) to unlock their stories and clues.

The truth lives in the everyday 

Why did the worlds fuse? The answer isn't in archives. It's waiting in the most ordinary encounters.
