About the Game

"The monster is not outside. It’s right here, within the walls of your own mind."

Still Life Inside is a psychological horror visual novel that blurs the lines between a terrifying nightmare and a heartbreaking reality. You find yourself trapped in a derelict 7-story building, convinced that you are being "raised" by a monstrous entity lurking just outside your door.

With only a mysterious voice in your head '???' to guide you, you must descend through each floor, confronting personified fears and collecting the shattered fragments of your memory. But as the clues begin to align, a chilling question emerges: Is this building a prison, or is it a fortress you built to keep the truth out?

Key Features

  • A Descending Nightmare: Navigate through 7 distinct floors, each representing a deeper layer of the protagonist's fractured psyche.

  • Chilling Mini-games: Survive intense psychological encounters through unique mechanics, including Gaze Avoidance, Heartbeat Suppression, and Frequency Tuning.

  • The Weight of Truth: Collect 5 crucial clues to unlock the True Ending. Will you face the reality of your isolation, or succumb to the comforting lies of your own mind?

  • Multi-Ending Narrative: Experience a haunting variety of endings, ranging from "Infinite Loops of Despair" to "Incomplete Realizations."

  • Atmospheric Audiovisuals: A somber, evocative soundtrack and stylized 2D art work together to create an overwhelming sense of dread and melancholy.

Can you trust the voice inside?

The voice claims to be your protector. It tells you to ignore the notes, to hide from the shadows, and to stay in the dark. But in a world made of mirrors and echoes, the greatest threat might be the one telling you everything is okay.

Content Warning: This game contains themes of mental isolation, psychological trauma, and depictions of self-neglect that may be distressing to some players.
