About


This game was developed by only one person. Despite of limited human resources, I always try to give you the best experience while gaming.

With spending a lot of effort on graphics and ingenuity in leading the storyboard, I believe that when you’re gaming you will feel like more than watching a movie. The game have the knots of the past of characters which towards the end of the game everything will gradually clear.

It is rough around the edges, with plenty of loose threads and unfinished details, yet a surprisingly unsettling atmosphere still emerges from the mess. The fact that it was made by a solo developer explains both its shortcomings and its peculiar charm.
