A dark corridor just appeared and will lead you to a whole new world made of familiar rooms populated with weird creatures, the Sumigamis. Investigate your past to find the escape out of this nightmare!

Explore

Explore the ever-changing Sumigami world with only your flash-light and courage and try to understand what is happening to you. The various creature are here to help, but are also searching for an escape just as you.

Collect

You will find a bunch of items. Each one helping you understand better what made you who you are and what needs to be done to escape.
