About the Game

Paris is a nursing student trying to cope with the loss of her mother, a distant father, and the pressure of school. Her life is already fragile—until one night, she realizes someone has been following her.

The stranger soon reveals himself as her charismatic professor. What begins as unease turns into fixation and fear. Is he watching over her, manipulating her, or something far more dangerous?

This is a short, story-driven visual novel focused on atmosphere and psychological tension. The story unfolds through Paris’s perspective as she questions what is real and who she can trust.
