Overview

About this game

An ADVENTURE/INTERACTIVE NARRATIVE made using RPG Maker VX Ace.

You take the role of Isabelle in search of her Uncle.

You approach his house and all is not what it seems.

You must explore every room, collect key items and tools and navigate your way around the SHADOWS.

What exactly are these SHADOWS?

Where is Isabelle's Uncle?

Well that is up to you to discover...

MECHANICS

You have a collection of tools, that you find throughout.

These allow you to build barriers, lockpick drawers, access secret areas.

There is an INFECTION throughout that you must avoid, otherwise you'll be fighting off SHADOWS and having to deal with LOW HP and STAMINA.

Speaking of STAMINA, you require STAMINA to push objects and build barriers, in order to BLOCK SHADOWS.

There is the NOTE system, which offers information and lore.

You have LIMITED resources, so you have to SKILLFULLY DODGE SHADOWS, which get increasingly faster and harder to avoid.

There are many puzzles that require different items, the main objective being the "STONES"
