About

【Somewhere in America: Space-Time Distortion】

When you passed through the ticket gate of the last train, the boundary of daily life vanished without a sound. Inverted letters, an 'UNKNOWN' incoming call screen flickering eerily, and a deserted American night—. This is a world of survival horror with no exit, woven by the corporate drone Guest, who wandered in from reality, and the inhabitants of the distorted space.

【Stages, Facilities, Areas】

  • Late-Night Diner (Space-Time Distortion side)

A deserted restaurant in a city where neon signs wet with rain glow red. All letters on the signs are inverted or mutated.

───────

  • Dilapidated Motel (Liminal Space side)

An uninhabited lodging facility with cold fluorescent lights and a dusty counter.

───────

  • Large Playroom (Liminal Space side)

A space where children's laughter has vanished, filled with a cold ball pit and play equipment. This eerie area is isolated from the outside world.

───────

  • Deserted Urban Area / Factory Ruins (Space-Time Distortion side)

An old industrial zone where the sound of machinery has died, or a night street where no one walks. Many Observers are present. Black Mist Humanoids appear unpredictably at times.

Intro

Thoughts worn thin by consecutive days of heavy work, eyelids heavy as lead. Late at night, while surrendering to the swaying of the sparse train on the way home, the thread of consciousness snapped. —Clack-clack, clack-clack. "Next stop, the terminal—the terminal."

The in-train announcement echoes with a strangely raspy noise. You snap your head up and scramble to your feet, but there is no sign of other passengers. Hurriedly peering out the train window, you see the train stopped at the platform of a massive, concrete 'terminal station' shrouded in deep night darkness—not your usual home station. Stepping off the train with unsteady feet, you head toward the deserted ticket gate.

The displays of the automatic ticket gates and the surrounding guide signs are all eerily inverted, mutated into meaningless symbols and garbled text. In the deserted station interior, only the buzz-buzz of cold fluorescent lights echoes. You check your phone. No Signal There is no reception.

Suddenly, in your pocket where there should be no signal, your smartphone vibrates violently. Peering at the screen, an eerie incoming call notification emerges along with jumbled, distorted letters and noise.

Creator Comment

🎭 Presenting 'The Neon Paradox' This is a mixed homage to liminal spaces and the 'Old Man of Space-Time' urban legend series. I've crafted it as a psycho-horror game. If you reach an ending with koji or Luca, an original song I composed for each character will play 🎵 💬 I'm looking forward to your thoughts and comments!
