About the Game

It is a psychological horror game and walking simulator. Only half of the rooms are safe. When you enter an unsafe room, you must leave immediately. Ghosts can be dispelled with a flute or a guitar.

Gameplay

  • Only half of the rooms are safe. When you enter an unsafe room, you must leave immediately.

  • In the corridor, you may encounter wandering ghosts. To dispel them, you must play the flute or use the guitar.

  • Some ghosts can forcibly shift your camera from first‑person to third‑person. To escape them, you must move out of their camera view.

  • Sometimes you can’t escape a room in time. In those cases, you must hide until the ghost disappears.

Hide or leave immediately when a ghost appears.

Turn off your devices and close your curtains while watching for movement in the dark.
