PSYCHEDELIC HORROR STORY
The game tells the story of Patrick Calman, a 31-year-old man who lost his entire family in mysterious circumstances - his parents died in a brutal way, and his sister suddenly disappeared for unknown reasons.
The trauma of losing loved ones shattered Patrick's psyche and turned his own apartment into a prison for him. The only member of Patrick's family left alive is his sister, who disappeared more than 10 years ago.
One day, Patrick receives a phone call, and the voice in the receiver seems to belong to his sister. This one announces her arrival - several years after her disappearance.
The protagonist, suffering from Paranoid Schizophrenia, will have to make a difficult decision – whether to stay at home without medication and uncover the dark secret of his neighbor? Or should he buy the medicine and go to meet his missing sister, who, for the first time in ten years, has given a sign of life?
Among all the crazy theories that the main character is living with, this one seems to be the most true. Could the neighbor who haunts Patrick's dreams be hiding a dark secret? Who is she really, and why can't he get her out of his head? Does she even exist, and do we really want to know the answer to that question?
