About this game
Survival in a Distorted Reality
This is a horror game with elements of exploration and survival. You will explore a strange world, find ways to move forward, and control your fear. Reality will begin to distort, familiar things will become alien, and disturbing events will escalate.
Gameplay and Features:
Exploration – discover a world full of strange locations, unexpected transitions, and hidden details.
Distorted Reality – the environment shifts, and you never know what awaits around the next corner.
An Atmosphere of Unsettling Calm – nothing is chasing you here... for now.
Ordinary Life
You are an ordinary villager, living a peaceful life among familiar faces and a well-known routine. Day after day, everything follows its usual course—until one day, something happens that changes your world forever…
Blurred Reality
Strange occurrences begin to unfold in your village—subtle at first, but growing more unsettling over time. Nightmares become frequent visitors, and the line between dreams and reality starts to blur. Until one day, you wake up in an unfamiliar place…
Illusion of Serenity
Explore the world around you and fight to escape the grasp of a mysterious entity, whose deceptive calm pulls you deeper and deeper.
