01 / THE GUIDE
Story Choices
Vincent’s heart is torn between Katherine, the girl who intends to wed Vincent someday, and Catherine, the unexpected blonde who appears suddenly. The story can take many paths, and the outcome can reach unimaginable places.
Each decision influences the romantic‑horror narrative, shaping how relationships develop and whether Vincent survives. The themes of free will and delicate bonds are woven throughout every branch.

Nightmarish Puzzles
Players move blocks to create a path up a tower while monsters chase them. The lowest levels of blocks fall as time passes, so constant movement is required to avoid falling with them.
Obstacles include trap blocks that skewer climbers, exploding blocks that damage surroundings, and sheep that disrupt your structure. Items can deal with sheep, remove hazards, or create new paths.
- Plan routes ahead to minimize exposure to trap blocks.
- Use items strategically to clear sheep before they block your ascent.
