About the Game

"Maybe, just maybe, there are some things to live for."

"But at the same time, does any of this really matter? When I die, I'll forget this all anyway."

Slumberer's Universe tells a story of a grieving middle schooler struggling with loss.

Months have passed since Alph's best friend Walter died in a car accident. Alph's been trying to overcome his death, but there's always something that reminds him of the horror and sadness of it. One day, one specific remaining of Walter set a series of life-changing moments in motion. Everything started to change—mostly for the worse. As Alph struggles to understand the surreal events happening only around him, his buried memories are starting to unearth. Will the forgotten past bring joy, or more sorrow?

Solve the mysteries and find out the truth about the universe, while trying to overcome your friend's death in this heart-wrenching psychological horror RPG! Can you face the part of you you wanted to erase, or is accepting yourself still too difficult? Or are "what's it to live" and "what's it to die" even that far from each other?

And maybe, just maybe, find a new reason to keep on living. The fate is still unclear.

  • A gripping and heartfelt story about suicide and death, and their consequences.

  • A unique turn-based-meets-action battle system that's been praised by players!

  • A stylish original art style and visuals!
