━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
When the world itself turns against you.
Perception falters as the environment distorts and logic begins to collapse. Details no longer add up, time slips between moments, and you begin to question if any of this is real.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Not everything you hear is in your head.
Darkness deepens, sounds grow sharper, and something unseen begins to close in. The house itself starts to feel alive, reacting to every breath and every step.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Every answer unlocks a darker question.
Interact with notes, locks, and clues to progress and piece together the case. What seems like evidence soon raises suspicion, and even the simplest objects begin to feel intentionally placed.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Uncover what was left behind.
Step carefully through silent rooms, untouched belongings and forgotten memories. Every corner holds a trace of the family’s life and offers a glimpse into what might have ended it.
