About the game

Ding! You received an invitation from the [Eerie Girl]. Stop just reading—this time, YOU challenge the rules. An interactive rule-horror novel with five-senses gameplay. Lick her ankle to uncover hidden rules, or reach out to find clues. Forget the girl; break the rules and you die.

Original Steam description

Investigator File: Top Secret

Ding! You've received an invitation from the [Eerie Girl].

Stop just reading novels. This time, it's your turn to challenge rules-based horror.

Here, you'll become a special investigator, traveling through rules-based horror cases across different timelines.

Break the Norm with "Five-Senses" Interaction

You are no longer a bystander; every touch changes the ending.

Facing eerie girls or ancient monsters, you can use five methods: look, smell, listen, lick, touch.

You can smell the cold chest of a lifeless, eerie girl to uncover clues; or in ancient cases, lick the residual rouge on a bridal dress, or touch...

Travel Through Time in Multi-Case Folklore Horror

Different cases, drastically different rules and terror!

You'll seek midnight survival rules in modern cities, get entangled in the curse of a bridal ghost in a deep courtyard, and even face the inhuman beneath the painted skin...

Each case has independent survival rules and hidden truths.

Sanity is Consumable, Text Will Twist

Whether ancient or modern, your sanity is relentlessly eroded.

When sanity collapses, the text becomes unreadable gibberish, and the mouse cursor hallucinates.
