Spreading eerie curses- An Immersive Visual Interactive Novel.
Story Introduction
Leah, an art student, encounters her first love Ethan at an abandoned suburban art studio — he pours out a frantic confession and issues a terrifying warning about a curse: a sinister entity known as the "Shadow Stalker" can shapeshift into anyone and haunt its target to the death, with the only supposed "way out" being to pass the curse onto another person. Ethan’s brutal death confirms the curse is real. Ghostly figures in white dresses flashing in mirrors, mysterious strangers closing in late at night, and malicious provocation from an unknown figure plunge Leah into endless fear.
Fortunately, she forms a curse-fighting team with her childhood friend Noah, caring younger sister Lily, and bold best friend Zora. The four retreat to a suburban villa, yet they cannot escape the Shadow Stalker’s omnipresence. The game features a fully coherent single linear storyline with zero distracting choices. Follow Leah’s perspective as she uncovers the Shadow Stalker’s weaknesses amid deceptive confrontations, struggles to survive on the brink of trust and suspicion, and unravels the greater conspiracy hidden behind the curse. Every scene is brimming with suspense, fully immersing you in a tense, thrilling atmosphere of mystery and horror.

Lily: The Devoted, Protective Younger Sister: A 16-year-old girl who is innocent yet courageous, and Leah’s strongest support system.

The mutual support between the sisters and their tight embraces in critical moments serve as a heartwarming bright spot in the chilling plot, with every interaction filled with the warmth of family love.
Zora: The Bold, Wise Best Friend: A top art student who is fearless and perceptive, and the team’s "brainy leader".
