About the Game

STORY: HOW DO YOU FORGIVE SOMEONE WHO CUT YOU OPEN?

Congratulations on graduating, young lady! You passed the interview! Welcome to our company! A bright future ahead of you!

Haha, just kidding. You're now locked in a psych ward, with all your money and memory lost, plus a shocking stitched wound across your belly. Part of your body has been stolen. You know it was Laira who did this. You just know.

Who is Laira? An ex-friend? A husband snatcher? A patient with kidney disease? A rising star in your industry? They don't matter anymore, 'cause she just became your worst enemy. Even if society collapses, public order dies out, and all moral causes and effects are overwritten, no one should ever be anyone’s vessel. 

To hell with your friend, to hell with your forgiveness. Grab a knife, break out of this place. When you find her, you're gonna do exactly what she did to you.
