About this game
A game in the genre of single-player 2D Horror with adventure elements.
Key Features:
Pixel graphics
Single player game
Creepy atmosphere
This story tells about three friends — Nick, his best friend Steve and his girlfriend Veta, who have always been inseparable. However, everything changed in an instant when one of them broke the bond that united them. Not appreciating what he had, he often cursed his life and thought that death would be less terrible than the moral pain caused by his selfishness. This was his fatal mistake in this story, as well as in his future fate.
The basis of the gameplay is extremely simple: travel through locations, collecting everything you need to advance, and also find cassettes to learn more about our friends! Be careful, because every reaper has its own mechanics!
"Good luck, player, because I will come for each of you"

Important update!
Hey everyone!I want to share some pretty bad news regarding the game: it has received its final update... I won't be able to release the DLC.Reasons for the DLC cancellation:· Technical limitations: Ideas for implementing certain mechanics and large-scale locations couldn't be realized due to game engine constraints. Unfortunately, it couldn't perfectly execute everything that was planned.· Resources and time: Development required significantly more time than the developer could allocate without delaying other projects or burning out. There were no plans to release an unfinished product.· Story integrity: A choice arose: expand the universe or risk its coherence. Without a meticulously thought-out, worthy continuation at that time—one that would properly conclude the story—the developer decided not to spoil the impression of the main game by replacing its ending.The game's ending has been changed. You can also check out development screenshots in the new menu after completing the game.Once again, I'm sorry I couldn't release the expansion... I'm truly sorry...Read full article on Community Announcements (PiratLightfireNew)Patch NotesOfficial
