About this game
Amidst the scrawlings of madmen and images of otherworldly abominations, a passage describes how to summon The Black Goat of the Woods— Rhok'zan. The rest of the town seems to be under the thrall of Rhok'zan’s all-consuming aura of love, but for some reason you feel… different?

Can you escape, or will you meet your demise at the innumerable hands of The Thousand?
- A fun four-chapter visual-novel romp through Lovecraftian mythos, inspired by classics like "The Dunwich Horror" and "The Shadow over Innsmouth"
- Introducing Rhok'zan, The Black Goat of the Woods: a new dateable entity!
- Multiple endings determined by player choice
- All new 360-degree, hand-drawn 2D environments!
- Nostalgic art style reminiscent of old school anime and classic dating sims!
- No horror elements this time, we swear. Come on, trust us haha.
