About the Game

project; VIRAI: DOOMER’s LIFE ESCAPE is a horror-RPG with elements of visual novel and psychological thriller, where you live the life of Hicha — a shut-in hikikomori girl trapped in an endless depressive routine.

The only thing that gives her life meaning is Virai — her virtual alter ego and a singer in the global social network VITA. Will you be able to make Virai popular and save Hicha, or will the depressive reality finally consume her? What is really hiding inside the perfect-looking world of VITA?

Game Features:

  • Hicha’s life simulator — live her days: suffer, worry, ruin your health, and sink into the endless loop of routine.

  • Explore the emotional world of the protagonist through multiple visual styles.

  • Find the perfect life in VITA, a flawless virtual reality that offers a way out.

  • Uncover the secrets of Virai’s world in an ARG-style quest — of course we have one.

  • Unlock 10 different endings, ranging from total collapse to salvation. The ending is up to you.

  • Enjoy an original soundtrack composed specifically for the game.

  • 10 music tracks from russian doomer music and post-punk artists.

  • A unique visual style and artwork by artist RIKANI (“An alt girl for skoof”).

Can you help Hicha escape her routine and find happiness? It’s all in your hands.
