❤ Game Structure and Interaction

Players navigate a richly detailed supernatural mystery by exploring 360-degree environments, clicking precise hotspots, and making strategic choices. Unlike traditional visual novels, the experience demands active engagement and careful observation.

❤ Curse Mechanics

Players strategically activate unique curse stones by meeting specific triggering conditions. For example, one curse might require the target to be standing in a particular location, while another demands a precise emotional state. These mechanics create tense, puzzle-like confrontations that reward meticulous planning.

❤ Investigation and Puzzle Solving

The gameplay challenges players to detect microscopic environmental clues, cross-reference subtle details in character dossiers, reconstruct narrative fragments across multiple perspectives, and occasionally manipulate game interfaces as part of puzzle solutions.

❤ Narrative Progression Mechanics

Characters interconnect through a complex "story chart" that allows players to weave between different perspectives. Uncovering a seemingly minor detail in one character's storyline might unlock critical information in another's narrative thread.

❤ Fourth Wall Breaking

The experience occasionally shatters traditional gameplay boundaries, directly challenging players through unexpected menu interactions or sudden knowledge tests about previously discovered information.

❤ Player Choice and Narrative Design

While presenting multiple paths, the game ultimately guides players through a meticulously crafted narrative. Apparent choices often converge toward predetermined story beats, creating an illusion of agency within a tightly controlled experience.

❤ Difficulty and Accessibility

Innovative mechanics ensure player progression through gentle punishment for narrative missteps, contextual hint systems, intuitive puzzle design, and a focus on storytelling complexity.
