FAQ

• Is this a horror game?
  • While the game contains dead bodies and blood, but I do not intend the game to be scary, and I aim to provide surprise in discovering the truth and insights, which also come with suspense and curiosity. There will be no loud “jumpscares.”
• Is this an escape room game?
  • Escaping from the facility is your goal, but this is not a traditional “escape room game.” There are little action or puzzle elements included, and the game focuses on exploration and story. You won’t need to have good skills or reflexes to play.
• Are the trailers and screenshots on the Steam page part of cutscenes?
  • There are very few “cutscenes” where you can only watch and cannot interact. Most of the events happen as you progress on your own pace.
