You play as a small child and manage your limited stamina to utilize objects around you to evade the attacks of a variety of monsters. Players will get the satisfaction of problem-solving through trial-and-error, while also experiencing the terror of being pursued by monsters and the supernatural abilities they command.

Exploring a Scary Unknown World

The player takes on the role of the protagonist, who must escape from a bizarre space, unseen in the modern world. The player will solve puzzles hidden around throughout this space. However, strange phenomena and ambushes will occur, instilling fear into the player as to what might be waiting for them. The core game mechanics can be summarized as: Exploration, puzzle solving, and evasion.
