About the Game

You’re broke, bored, and desperate for something to do. Then you find a random pendrive. 

No label.

No warning.

Inside is a small free to play game with no installation, just 'Start'.

At first, it feels like harmless entertainment. But as you continue playing, strange things begin to happen. What starts as boredom relief turns into a disturbing experience where curiosity has consequences. You wanted free entertainment, but you never asked what it would cost.
