Description

Sometimes, in life, there are places where the rules of reality just don't apply.

Sometimes it's the one place where you ought to feel safe.

Like your house.

Freelance designer Yuuki Kae has just moved into a new apartment. On her move-in day, she decides to introduce herself to her new next-door neighbor... but something isn't quite right.

Static over the intercom...
A violently rattling doorknob...
And a ghostly pale hand reaching out through the crack in the door...

They said the apartment next to hers wasn't for rent. It was supposed to be empty.

Through a series of strange events, Kae meets Hisamatsu Daigo, a fellow tenant who lives above her on the 3rd floor. Together, they must hunt for clues to solve the mystery...

[From Otusun Land]

You start the game with these colorless scenarios and already start to feel the suspense in the air, and very quickly you see what's the main danger in the area, with characters behaving strangely and quickly fading into the story, the MC soon realizes the mess she got herself into and as a curious person starts to unwrap the mystery with the help of other equally curious people, but all of them with their reasons to solve all of this, which give depth to their characters, and...
