About the Game

While investigating the mysterious disappearances plaguing your rural hometown of Sacramen-Cho, you end up kidnapped yourself! Trapped in the dark heart of the labyrinthian woods, your only hope for escape rests within the pages of the cultists’ strange purple spellbook.

Amidst the scrawlings of madmen and images of otherworldly abominations, a passage describes how to summon The Black Goat of the Woods— Rhok'zan. The rest of the town seems to be under the thrall of Rhok'zan’s all-consuming aura of love, but for some reason you feel… different?



Can you escape, or will you meet your demise at the innumerable hands of The Thousand?
  • A fun four-chapter visual-novel romp through Lovecraftian mythos, inspired by classics like "The Dunwich Horror" and "The Shadow over Innsmouth"
  • Introducing Rhok'zan, The Black Goat of the Woods: a new dateable entity!
  • Multiple endings determined by player choice
  • All new 360-degree, hand-drawn 2D environments!
  • Nostalgic art style reminiscent of old school anime and classic dating sims!
  • No horror elements this time, we swear. Come on, trust us haha.
