About the Game:

Isaac has a detective career full of failures. To make ends meet and pay his bills, he accepts small and insignificant cases. One day, he receives a mysterious letter that leads him to a life-changing task. Isaac is asked to investigate an isolated and abandoned house, and he initially thinks the job will be easy and profitable. However, the moment he steps into the house, things quickly take a turn. In this seemingly abandoned place, supernatural entities and dark forces are waiting for him. Isaac is no longer just a detective but a man fighting for survival.

As Isaac progresses through this enigmatic house, each step pulls him deeper into a darker and more sinister mystery. As the player, you must help Isaac uncover the house's secrets by solving puzzles that test both his mental and physical endurance.
