About Dissolving

Sometimes things do not end when you die. Have you ever thought that some... people may live on the Internet? One girl didn't, for sure. She went to visit her ex, and eventually found herself tangled in horrifying events far larger than her life.

Dissolving is an atmospheric horror kinetic visual novel about a girl that gets caught up in some sort of an Internet cult. While there are no choices, there is a second, larger scenario that can be unlocked during one part of the main story. Good luck finding it and some additional story information referenced in the game.
  • horror
  • cyberspace
  • gods

  • one part of the game is hidden outside of it, but the first scenario has a hint how to find it
  • all parts of the story can be read in an hour or so

Dissolving is a free-to-play psychological horror visual novel developed and published by Flying Whale that delivers a surprisingly complex and unsettling experience despite its relatively short length. Rather than relying on conventional horror techniques, the game focuses on existential dread, internet mythology, emotional trauma, and surreal storytelling. Through a combination of mysterious narrative threads, atmospheric presentation, and thought-provoking themes, it creates an experience that feels both intimate and deeply unsettling. The story centers on a young woman who decides to reconnect with her former boyfriend after learning that he has become isolated from society. What initially appears to be a personal drama quickly evolves into something far stranger. As the protagonist investigates his circumstances, she becomes entangled in a web of disturbing mysteries involving obscure online communities, cryptic entities, and ideas that challenge the boundaries between reality and imagination. The narrative gradually expands beyond its personal beginnings, introducing concepts that feel increasingly cosmic and difficult to comprehend. One of the game's strongest qualities is…
