Raised by your mother with no knowledge of your relatives, you arrive at their estate after your grandmother's death, only to face a trial for a new successor amid the Convergence. Your choices reveal their hidden rituals and turn that knowledge against them, shaping outcomes across victory or defeat.

Sanity shifts in three unseen layers, altering layered music as your mind frays from decisions. Return to save points to rewrite the story and decide whether to redeem or join the family. Fans of choice-driven indie adventures with persistent knowledge and roguelike replays will find their match here.
