About the Game

We are counting.

I open my eyes.

Suction cups.

On my chest. On my arms. Everywhere.

Seventeen.

Eighteen.

Voices whisper.

Mom is waiting.

A short psychological horror visual novel about compulsive counting. A fragmented narrative where the ordinary melts into absurdity.

Key features:

  • Short length (5–15 minutes).

  • Stylized pixel and glitch visuals with grunge horror vibes.

  • Psychedelic text: repetition, memory gaps, voices inside.

  • Open to interpretation — for fans of abstract psychological VNs (Milk / Lain vibes).
