Description
About This Game

Look beyond the terror for the details that feel out of place, and uncover a hidden truth in this tale of psychological horror.
Story
A night at the soccer club’s training camp.
In a quiet room after lights-out, a teacher begins to recount inexplicable events from his past.
One is a supernatural encounter on an eerie mountain he visited before becoming a teacher.
The other is a gruesome incident by the sea, involving his high school friends.
At first, they seem to be nothing more than frightening ghost stories.
Why is he telling them now, here at this camp?
What lies behind the strange details in these memories—the things that do not quite add up?
When you have heard both stories, you will discover what they truly mean.
Features
Two ghost stories on a night at camp: Read two terrifying accounts, each set in a different place.
Details that do not quite add up: The storyteller recounts his past in a matter-of-fact voice, but strange details are scattered throughout his memories. Read carefully, and you may discover another side to what seemed to be mere ghost stories.
Choices that reveal the truth: Once you have heard both stories, it is time to piece them together. Work out what lies behind the unsettling details and make the right choices.
Endings: Four (two normal endings, one true ending, and one bad ending).
Playtime: About one hour. Experience an intense psychological horror story in a single sitting, much like watching a short film.
