This is the first game I've ever made! I'm so happy to have completed it!
Game Background:
Ella is critically ill and near death. Her loving parents performed a sacrificial ritual to an unknown entity in a desperate attempt to save her—but instead invited a deadly parasite into their daughter. After the ritual, Ella’s consciousness was torn apart: one half became controlled malice, the other a remnant of survival instinct. You are that neutral fragment of her mind—a scale destined to tip toward evil.
Gameplay:
This horror game is a first-person walking simulator featuring VHS effects and a chilling atmosphere. You’ll explore environments, confront anomalies, and unlock new areas. Along the way, many eerie and terrifying events await. Be careful!
