After years of battling alcoholism and depression, a father finally finds the strength to seek the truth about his son. On a beautiful spring day in 1986, he sent his boy off to school — but the child never returned. No one knows what happened. The school administration remained silent, whether out of fear or denial.
Overwhelmed by grief, the father tried to bury the horrors deep inside, drowning his pain in alcohol. His wife couldn’t bear the burden and left him. Now, years later, he returns to the abandoned Soviet-era school to confront the dark secrets lurking within its shadows.
In this first-person horror game, you step into the shoes of a broken man who is finally searching for the truth about his son. Explore haunting, empty corridors, gather disturbing clues, and face a chilling truth that no one ever dared to speak of. As the line between reality and nightmare fades, uncover a mystery long buried in silence.

DEVELOPER ANNOUNCEMENT
I’m truly grateful to everyone who played my previous game, No Forgiveness. It means a lot to me to be able to create experiences that bring tension and excitement to players.
This is my second game, and everyone who plays and supports it gives me the motivation and opportunity to move forward — toward a third one.
Thank you once again.
See you soon! :)
