• Forge or destroy bonds — your choices matter: Will you encourage your best friend to ask out his crush? Can you close the distance between yourself and your new stepbrother? Be mindful — your choices will impact your relationships and inform how you tackle supernatural threats.

Create your story again and again, with multiple endings driven by your narrative choices.

Ratings and reviews

This game is great! And so cozy! I love the voice acting! It's like a choose your own adventure movie with really good atmospheric vibes. And pretty easy controls. Not sure why there's so many low votes but honestly didn't expect it to be so good and immersive. Edit- After reading, I see some people were having issues. It seems to be fixed now! I'm afte the caves and everything is working just fine. Also download speeds weren't crazy long or anything.

Absolutely terrific voice acting! The plot is interesting and I appreciated how moving across the map was neither too tedious, nor unrealistically easy. Though I was not a fan of a lot of the bgm (found it a bit grating like in the cave) and the radio tuning was a bit fiddly at times, the positives far outweigh the few negatives. Overall this is a very atmospheric and engrossing game, with diverse and relatable characters. Highly recommended for those who enjoy the mystery and adventure genre

The problem I'm having is anytime it gives you a choice to pick different responses, you literally have about 5 seconds to read them and choose before it starts to disappear. Also as soon as you make your choice it will interrupt the conversation happening & you miss out on what the NPC is saying. The controls could be better, sometimes when you try to move your character, it just doesn't work & I have to keep dragging my finger across the screen to get them to move. I do enjoy the game tho
