About the Game

Background

A man wakes up from the nightmare. Again. Every time he closes his eyes he sees images of evil paper dolls attacking him. Sleepless, confused, terrified...and now he's haunted by imaginary sounds. At dawn, he will take his daughter to his ex-wife. He must.

Driving on this road always makes him sad.

“If it wasn't for my depression, our relationship wouldn't end like this."
"What’s the meaning of my life?"

Horror begins

He is so deeply immersed in these thoughts that he can’t even hear his daughter’s voice, "Look out!." The imaginary sounds grow stronger. Then, a crash...
When he wakes up, he finds himself in a deserted and ancient eastern mansion. Everything here seems strange, yet eerily familiar.

“Is this a dream? Or am I dead?”

He hears the faint cries of his daughter. Struggling to pull himself together, He follows her voice deeper into the ancient mansion.

Will the man find his daughter and get out safely with her?




Realistic graphics and a unique Eastern vibe bring this terrifying mansion to life. Experience a finely-crafted soundtrack, combining chant with folk and rock music, as you delve deeper into the darkness.
