Story
A story about the Noctarian, a race whose nightmares become reality.
Two girls, Neml and Nina, live quietly together.
One day, Nina is forced to leave home on urgent business, leaving Neml behind with a single letter.
While staying home alone, Neml encounters a series of unexpected troubles.
Shy and unfamiliar with the outside world, the only thing Neml can rely on
are the words written in the letter Nina left behind.
The choices she makes by following that letter will eventually shape not only her own fate,
but the future of the world itself.
System
The player can perform only one action.
Rewrite the contents of the letter left for Neml.
Using character dialogue, highlighted key lines,
and objects or situations shown in the background as clues,
the player freely writes what should be conveyed to Neml in plain text.
An AI interprets the contents of the letter, altering Neml’s actions, decisions,
and the direction of the story.
At times, Neml may lose her life and the story will rewind to the beginning.
By rewriting the letter each time, the player can avoid past mistakes and reach different endings.
