A downloadable demo for Windows

A psychological horror experience with no combat—only memory, fear, and discovery.

About the Demo

This free demo is a standalone nightmare sequence that serves as a prologue to the full game. Step into the mind of archaeologist Yuna Sato as she experiences a surreal vision of a pit buried deep within the earth—a place that should never have been found. 

Explore a haunted mine, uncover fragments of the past, and witness a taste of the horror to come.
