About the Game

A young university student from Bangkok receives a mysterious message—one that compels her to return to her quiet childhood home in the countryside during the holidays. Her mission is simple yet unsettling: find out what her grandmother has been hiding.

But truth is often layered behind the mundane. To get the answers she seeks, she must take on the role of the dutiful granddaughter and help with the daily chores.

The Daily Routine

The heart of your visit revolves around the family’s small street food stall. You must help your grandmother prepare and sell Grilled Meat Skewers with Sticky Rice to the locals.

Every customer is a source of information. Engage in conversations with the villagers who frequent the stall. Pay attention to what is said—and what is left unsaid. The whispers of the townspeople are the key to unlocking the truth your grandmother is keeping from you.

Between the rhythm of daily life and the smoke of the grill, the atmosphere shifts. As you spend more time in the house, the sense of unease grows. What is your grandmother concealing? Why was it so important for you to return?

Features:

  • Psychological Horror: Experience a creeping sense of dread as the familiar comforts of home become increasingly foreign.

  • Dialogue-Driven Mystery: Use your time at the food stall to interact with a variety of characters. Your ability to gather clues through conversation will determine your path.

  • Multiple Endings: Every choice, every discovery, and every interaction matters. Your actions will lead to different conclusions, ranging from clarity to terrifying realizations.

  • A Cultural Contrast: Experience the unique blend of a traditional Thai rural setting intertwined with an unsettling psychological narrative.
