The game is a first-person horror adventure set in a world where Kashubian folklore has not faded, and players fight demonic beings from Slavic myth using a revolver and magic spells cast by hand-drawing. The developers at Forever Entertainment and Virtual Sanctuary aimed for an early 2000s feel, with vertex-lit visuals, bit-crushed audio, and a sanity system that triggers visual distortions, eerie sounds, and hallucinations. Stages change gimmicks and appearance each time the player explores. The early access price is 599 yen, with a 10 percent discount running until July 11. A full release is expected around Halloween 2026, with gradual price increases.
