A first-person psychological horror game where you explore a maze-like Korean alley, photograph and identify supernatural 'Demon Traces' from realistic illusions, and escape while evading a relentless ghost.

Story

When late-night self-study ends, high school student Soyeon takes her usual shortcut home through a narrow back alley in Korea. On this night, the familiar path twists into an endless maze where time and space are distorted and traces of past tragedies linger. Guided only by a strange bracelet that reacts to unseen presences and her camera, Soyeon must face the stories of the dead and uncover the truth buried in the alley if she ever wants to escape.
