Overview
About this game
A never-before-seen game is the only clue left at a crime scene. Called in as a retired game designer to help with the case, you discover hidden breaches that let you cross into game worlds from within.
As more enigmatic games emerge, you begin to work alongside each game’s hero, alter what lies behind its visible rules, and uncover a mystery that reaches far beyond the games themselves.
Features:
A Mind-Bending Adventure-Thriller
Investigate a strange case that unfolds across reality, playable games, and the hidden worlds behind them, blending psychological horror, mystery, and science fiction.
Original “Single-Player Co-op” Gameplay
Control two presences in the same world: the hero inside the game, bound to its visible rules, and Hugo, the intruder who moves behind them. Progress depends on how both sides affect each other.
Layered Puzzle Design
Solve puzzles across multiple layers of reality, where actions inside the visible game and interventions behind it open new paths, reveal secrets, and deepen the story.
A World Behind the Veil
Enter strange simulated spaces that seem to be trying to look like games. As you push deeper, characters, rules, cameras, and hidden intentions begin to break apart.
Handcrafted Places, No Fillers
Explore detailed, authored environments where objects, characters, sound, and visual design are built with intention. Every level has its own identity in both art and gameplay.
