Description
About This Game
The Colour Beyond: A Zeroth Kind is a narrative-driven cosmic horror adventure about investigation, Mind-Intrusion, and the cost of rewriting fate.
On your first night on Haidong Island, you settle into a room where a missing person once stayed. A disturbing ritual and a killer on your trail turn a quiet night's stay into a desperate struggle to escape. When you reach the edge of the marsh, something else is waiting in the dark.
A cosmic creature far older than humanity lurks in this town. The horror goes beyond bodily mutation: your very understanding of the world begins to unravel. The boundaries between past and future, between yourself and others, begin to dissolve. Mind-Intrusion reveals others' hidden fears and obsessions, but can you still trust your own thoughts?
Investigate an Island Consumed by an Unknown Colour
Investigate different locations through first-person 2D point-and-click interactions across immersive 360-degree backgrounds. Gather evidence, reconstruct relationships, and uncover buried secrets.
Watch for abnormal changes in the environment: scan your surroundings to see where danger is spreading, then focus on suspicious objects to uncover hidden clues or paths forward.
Intrude into Other Minds
The people of Haidong Island are not mere witnesses or quest targets. Each carries their own fears, desires, guilt, and obsessions, and any one of them can become an entry point for Mind-Intrusion.
You can enter the locals' mental spaces, read their most immediate and unguarded thoughts, and use the clues you have gathered to guide, alter, or even forcibly implant your will into their minds.
Survive Between Sanity and Mutation
As the investigation deepens, the influence of the unknown colour becomes impossible to escape.
Sanity lets you continue to understand the world through human reason, while mutation grants new senses, new clues, and more powerful means of intervention, bringing you ever closer to the truth.
Every choice that crosses the line comes at a cost. Your judgment may be corrupted, your relationships distorted, and some choices that once belonged to humanity may disappear forever.
Companions, Bonds, and Diverging Fates
Your companions are not entirely reliable allies. They have their own agendas, secrets, fears, and breaking points. Over the course of these ten days, they may become either your strongest support or your most dangerous variable.
You can rely on them to interpret clues, let them take risks in your place, draw close to them, understand them, exploit them, or change them with your own hands.
Beyond the human figures who may become friends or enemies, you must also face a presence beyond human understanding: the "Colour Beyond". With every decision you make on this journey, you will choose whether to hold on to your human sanity or become part of the "Colour Beyond".
