About this game
You receive a mysterious invitation to the re-opening of a long-abandoned shopping street.
When you arrive, something feels… wrong.
The streets are empty. The shops are silent.
And yet — you are not alone.
Something is watching you.
Something is hunting you.
Explore the abandoned area, uncover what really happened, and collect 10 hidden notes to piece together the truth. Stay alert, move carefully, and do whatever it takes to survive.
Can you escape before it finds you?
