About the Game

I am the end and the beginning of life.

By choosing to play this game, you also allow me to touch your mind.

Deep within the Hesperid Forest lives Hector, a witch who grants the wishes of the cursed while struggling against Acheron, the entity that resides inside his own mind. But is Acheron truly real? Or is it nothing more than a cruel illusion created by Hector's fractured psyche?

Every customer who knocks on Hector's cabin door carries a different curse. Some wish to change their past, some want to live with their betrayal, some long to be forgotten, while others try to fill the emptiness in their hearts with the suffering of others...

Look at them carefully. Do they seem familiar? Perhaps you carry the same burden yourself.

Brew potions and perform spells that can alter people's destinies.

Don't misunderstand me. I'm not here to entertain you. I'm here to confront you with the thoughts you've been running from for far too long.

Now make your choice.

Will you try to save Hector?

Or will you fall into the darkness alongside him?
