About this game

A tale where twisted aberrations, eldritch energies, and fractured realities intertwine. Uncover the stories within stories and piece together the buried truth!

You set foot on this desolate island to escort your aunt to the mainland, only to become entangled in a tragedy long since buried. A sailor fell in love with the island lord's daughter, but the lord decreed that only when the sailor became a captain could they wed. The sailor perished in a storm, and the lord's daughter followed him in death. Thus the place earned its name - "Forsaken Isle." Since then, this cursed name has carried eternal sorrow, spawning aberrant creatures and eldritch energies, while layered dimensional rifts bury the truth beneath veils of mystery.

Twisted spatial geometry and displaced reality create an island environment both surreal and oppressive. From crumbling ruins to woods thick with unnatural phenomena, each area conceals unknown perils and hidden clues. Grotesquely mutated beings roam the isle - neither fully human nor beast, driven to maddening extremes. You must keep your wits about you while seeking escape, for one misstep will drag you into the abyss.

Rich puzzle mechanics permeate every moment of your journey. You must observe every environmental detail, unlock sealed mechanisms, and piece together fragments of the shattered truth to gradually approach the core secret.

But remember - those who gaze into the abyss will find the abyss gazing back, until they too become part of its depths...
