About the Game

STORY

Several years after your grandfather’s disappearance, you return to his house on the edge of the forest.

Expecting to find it abandoned, you are met with something entirely different.

The house is clean and well-kept, everything in its place, as if it had never been left behind. But as you listen to the silence, the sense of comfort quickly fades into unease.

In the empty rooms, you hear faint rustling and barely perceptible whispers. From time to time, unfamiliar objects appear, as if left there intentionally.

Reading through your grandfather’s journal, you find no answers — only new reasons to worry. Following fragments of his thoughts, you descend deeper into the house, where it begins to feel anything but ordinary.

Is this a dream, a distorted perception… or something real?
