About the Game

Spine-Chilling Gaming Experience

You will play as a resentful ghost, prowling the deep mountains at midnight, possessing the living, and constantly searching for your own corpse. After the roles of human and ghost are reversed, you will unleash your grudges upon the innocent, controlling their life and death.
Why did I die while you all live on, this is not fair!!!

Gameplay

The game contains an impressive story and light puzzle-solving elements.

Psychological Horror

The most terrifying thing is often the ugliest side of human nature. Due to the constraints of reality, people have to hide their evil intentions, but ghosts do not.

VHS Camera style

The visuals have a nostalgic, retro graininess, as well as blurriness, graininess, and color distortion effects, giving the game a unique old-world feel. These effects will provide players with a distinct horror experience, reminiscent of those terrifying memories from past eras.
These effects can be turned off.

Six Endings

This game has six vastly different endings, and players will receive a surprise after completing all of them.
