ABOUT THE GAME

An exhausted educator. In his fantasies, there are two women who refuse to stay. A coping mechanism on the verge of failure.

You teach literature. Every night, you grade forty essays. It’s been a long time since you felt anything. It’s a quiet apartment. It’s a quiet train ride home. During the day, the classroom is also silent.

After that, you begin to dream.

After everyone else has left for the day, a student in your evening session is kneeling at your desk. On the final train, a woman was staring straight ahead. You tell yourself it wasn’t real, get up at 6:14 every morning, and resume your work.

You won’t be certain by the fourth night.

The main concept of this adult visual novel is: what if the terror wasn’t a dream? What if the terror was exactly what you had hoped for?

You tell yourself every night that it doesn’t matter. You examine your hands, collar, and pillow each morning. By day four, the lie you’ve been telling yourself begins to seep because the game is watching what you pick and what you don’t choose.
