Description
About This Game
After finishing a late shift at work you find a mysterious amulet that was dropped on the ground.
As you go to return it to the woman that dropped it, you encounter a strange doorway that you haven't seen before. Entering the door leads you into an unnerving nightmare realm.
On your way through the depths you will encounter various enemies (many inspired from Japanese/Taiwanese urban legends and myths) that must be tricked, conversed with or eluded in sometimes unconventional ways.
Can you survive and return the amulet banishing this portal forever?
