About this game
This is not simply a game about collecting clues and solving puzzles.
Through various interesting gimmicks, defeat various enemies and discover the forces behind everything that torments you.
It is a 2D adventure point-and-click escape room game that reveals hidden truths through an interesting omnibus-style story and chilling twists.
In an unknown timeline, sometimes listen to the voice inside you.
As a person with ID (Identity Dominance), you can fully use the abilities that multiple personalities had in life as if they were your own.
Each personality can interpret clues from a different perspective, help you discover hidden meanings, and even grant you physical abilities that do not yield before enemies.
But do not let your guard down. Multiple personalities, including the 'Administrator' personality, are always aiming for control over your identity.
Can you remain as yourself in the face of harsh trials?
FEATURES
• Investigation is 2D point-and-click, while the field is flexible 2D top view (side view)
• Escape room-style puzzle solving / sometimes strategically defeat enemies that get in your way
• A world that can be inferred through various clues
• Various personalities that help you
