16 itemsAbout the Game
HORROR IN BROAD DAYLIGHT
Horror doesn't lurk in the dark; it parades under the sun, in rituals and smiling masked neighbors. Fear is a suffocating atmosphere of peer pressure, where the crowd is your greatest threat.
COMPLIANCE MEASURED, DEFIANCE PUNISHED
You begin as a perfect cult disciple: spotless record, painted smile, daily duties fulfilled. Yet the Conduct System scores every hesitation, every stray thought, every refusal. Your fate is calculated: your memories locked, your endings twisted, your freedom always at stake.
BY DAY, BLEND INTO THE LIE
Share whispers, bow in rituals, and keep your mask intact. Every act is watched. Every word is weighed.
AT NIGHT, EXPLORE THE TRUTH
Hack forbidden systems and infiltrate hidden rooms, uncover the buried history they fear you’ll find. But beware: The Benevolent Father sees everything.
RELICS THAT REMEMBER
Objects hold memory. Relics fracture time. Through them, the present bleeds into the forgotten past—your only key to escape, or your final chain to bind you here.
A CULT IN HAND-DRAWN AESTHETICS
Traverse 60+ hand-drawn scenes and cinematic animations, fusing surrealism with the oppressive density of an imagined Hong Kong.
AN ELECTRONIC DEVOTION
Immerse yourself in a hypnotic electronic soundscape by an award-winning composer. The music blurs the line between euphoria and dread, pulling you deeper into the cult’s embrace.
