Content notice: This game contains narrative and symbolic references to sensitive themes including domestic violence, gender-based violence, psychological abuse, sexual abuse, postpartum depression, and mental health struggles. These topics are presented through environmental storytelling, symbolism, and narrative interpretation rather than explicit visual depiction. The game does not show sexual acts or explicit violence on screen; instead, it explores the emotional and psychological impact of trauma through atmosphere, dialogue, and environmental cues. Some players may find these themes distressing or triggering. Player discretion is advised.

About this game
What is a home?
The safest place — or at least, that is what it is for Camila…
In this psychological horror and interactive narrative experience, you play as Camila, a child wandering through a house shaped by memories, cracks, and scars that are not always visible.
The story unfolds through exploration, symbolism, and environmental narrative, inviting the player to interpret events and piece together a fragmented truth.
Nothing is shown directly.
Everything is felt.
This project was born from the desire to explore psychological horror from an emotional perspective.
This experience seeks reflection — not shock value.
