About the Game

Some bonds never fade - even after death.

You are Alex, a solitary man with no belief in the supernatural and seeking peace in a new home, old, forgotten house on the edge of town. The last thing he expects is company, especially from someone who no longer is alive. But behind the silence of dusty rooms and flickering lights, a quiet presence lingers.

A mysterious ghost, reserved yet oddly familiar, appears. He's bound by an untold story and a sorrow that clings like a mist. But as you uncover his past and spend time together, the connection deepens, turning curiosity into comfort and comfort into something more.

Will you help the ghost remember what he's lost and finally set him free?

Or will you choose to keep him near you?

Build trust. Unlock memories. Choose your ending.

  • Slow-burn BL romance;
