11 itemsAbout the Game
Violet’s marriage is falling apart. One night, in a desperate attempt to make things right, she ventures into a mysterious forest, determined to gather the cherished belongings that once brought joy to her husband. But the woods are filled with secrets: a strange will-o’-the-wisp appears again and again, its intent unclear - friend or foe? As Nordic folklore comes to life around her, the line between reality and memory begins to blur.
A Journey into Darkness
On her search for the lost fragments of her relationship, Violet encounters strange objects and enigmatic creatures. Some seem familiar, others frighten with their strangeness. As she ventures deeper into this surreal forest, the line between reality and delusion begins to blur. Things appear that shouldn’t exist, memories twist, and every decision can lead her fate further into an unexpected direction.
Explore. Uncover. Remember.
Wander through the eerie woods and uncover their hidden secrets. Collect scattered clues like fragments of Violet’s past and interact with mysterious objects that sometimes promise answers… and sometimes only raise new questions.
Listen to Violet’s voice as her thoughts, doubts, and longings come to life. Every step and every spoken word brings you closer to the truth… or drives you further into madness.
Everything Changes
What once felt familiar may vanish in the blink of an eye. New paths open, and known places shift their appearance. The forest lives and transforms with every step you take. Nothing remains the same, and each discovery pulls you further into a labyrinth of secrets that will never let you go.

Your choices shape not only her path, but also the reality around her. Are you ready to lose yourself and uncover every hidden truth?
