About this game

Purgatory stimulates your extreme emotions and challenges the limits of your psyche. The only way to escape is to solve the mysterious puzzle at the center, acquire the core, and deliver it. In this dark, grotesque maze filled with unidentifiable creatures, do you have the courage to move forward without being overwhelmed by fear?

Countless creatures seem intent on trapping you in this space forever. Their presence is ominous and threatening, bringing a suffocating tension with every step you take.

The sharp tension of being alone, the creature's shadows that could engulf you at any moment, the overwhelming fear rising to your throat. The key to overcoming all these fears is your fellow companions.

Share acquired items,
Rescue teammates in crisis,
Exchange crucial information.
Together, everything becomes possible.


Always trust your companions. Even if they might betray you sometimes...

Remember, the only way to escape this space is by solving the mysterious puzzle at the center and acquiring the core. However, as if trying to keep you here, the puzzle pieces are scattered throughout a maze of confusion.

Find and collect items necessary for exploration, and acquire new tools with gold.
Sell unnecessary items to secure more resources.
The right choice will illuminate the path of survival like a light in the darkness!

Creature research is a guide to survival. Observe and record their behavior patterns. This will be the key to overcoming threats and completing your mission, like reading stars in a storm.
