Routine Becomes a Game of Survival
Your only defense is to act like nothing’s wrong. You move through your nightly routine: heating leftovers, checking the locks, tidying your room. But something is always there, just at the edge of your vision. It’s not about fighting back—it’s about pretending you don’t see the figure watching you from the corner or the subtle changes in the house that weren’t there before. The game thrives on this tension, where normal tasks become high-stakes risks, and even the smallest slip-up could draw its attention.

The game doesn’t rely on cheap scares—instead, it builds a slow, suffocating atmosphere where the most terrifying thing isn’t what you see, but what you know is lurking nearby. The question is, how long can you pretend before the truth becomes impossible to ignore?
