up-to-date&shop

April 6, 2026 Hello everyone, this is Sam 32. I'm not sure how many people will see this update, but here we go—this is the second test update. I've made some updates to the store page. Originally, I defined this project as a narrative-driven survival experience. But with so many ideas coming to mind, I decided to expand the scope a bit and build out a larger universe. The story still revolves around an alien invasion, where players struggle to survive—while gradually uncovering strange and unsettling mysteries behind these extraterrestrial lifeforms... The new promotional visuals now feature the updated female protagonist, depicting her after being unintentionally parasitized by an alien organism.
