01 / THE GUIDE
Story and Theme
The protagonist, terrified of other people, gains the ability to read minds. After his light‑novel wins a newcomer’s award, jealousy fuels distrust, and his sister becomes his sole comfort, creating an unhealthy codependency.
The narrative explores existential dread, societal conformity, and the moral ambiguity of using mind‑reading to eliminate perceived “tasteless, mindless conformists,” prompting players to question what happiness truly means.
- Notice the protagonist’s internal monologue; it often foreshadows mind‑reading moments.
- Reflect on the ethical weight of each decision rather than seeking a “best” outcome.

Visual Novel Mechanics
The game follows a classic visual‑novel format: text fills the screen and advances with a click. Right‑clicking hides the text, allowing the player to focus on the artwork.
No other gameplay systems are described; interaction is limited to progressing dialogue and, at specific points, using the mind‑reading ability.
- Use right‑click when you want to appreciate the art without text.
- Advance at your own pace; there is no time pressure indicated.

03 / THE GUIDE
Mind‑Reading Ability
When the protagonist feels murderous rage, he can employ his mind‑reading power to drive a character to suicide by targeting deep‑seated insecurities.
The ability is presented as a narrative choice rather than a mechanical tool; the description does not mention cooldowns, limits, or additional effects.
- Observe characters’ dialogue for hints about their insecurities before using the ability.
- Consider the story impact; the choice may alter the tone of later scenes.

Family Sharing is also listed, allowing the title to be shared within a household’s account without purchasing additional copies.
- If using a controller, test which buttons advance text, as not all functions may be mapped.
- Enable Family Sharing to let other household members play without extra purchases.
