A story-driven RPG with a haunting atmosphere that players can’t let go of. Nearly every review praises the narrative, while the limited playtime leaves some wanting more. The Very Positive reception (96%) reflects overwhelming satisfaction, though a handful of technical hiccups linger in the background.

What it's about: At the beginning of the 20th century, you awaken in a quiet manor where everyone calls you “Anna”, a maid. But there’s one problem — you’re actually a man. Soon after, a locked-room murder occurs, and the secrets of the manor begin to unfold.
