About
【⚠️ Difficulty: Extreme!!】
And when I checked with the narrator, it was rated as a Nightmare lol
"Is that really okay?" My mother always asked me that with a worried look.
──That's why I've never chosen anything for myself.
That day, the night I turned my phone face down in the corner of the party. The one who sat next to me was Akifumi Tanihara. It was as natural as if he had been there from the start.
A soft smile, a harmless aura, a comfortable sense of distance. A seemingly harmless person who looked a little wicked when he laughed. If I could have known that it was all calculated, would my way of living have changed at all...?
Late-night messages. Coincidences at the station. Walks intended to be "just for a bit." Minami is slowly being ensnared, ──tumbling down into the abyss.
You are the small voice ringing in the depths of Minami's heart.
The ending of the story depends on your choice of words.
Drown in kindness, or believe in the discomfort?
【──Please, give it a name.】
【How to Play】
You are not playing as Minami. You are the "voice" ringing in the depths of Minami's heart.
You can whisper, scream, or remain silent. However, Minami will not simply do as you say. Only words that touch upon her habits and fears will gradually reach her heart.
Behind Akifumi's smile, what is being calculated? You alone see the things Minami herself hasn't noticed.
There is more than one ending. Where you arrive depends on how much your voice resonated with her.
✔ Immersive story that works on the heart
✔ Multiple prepared endings that change based on accumulated choices
✔ Narration that depicts the psychology of the two from different angles
If you get lost, try asking the narrator for a walkthrough.
⚠️ Starting by becoming human and joining the party together is also OK! This might be more fun!? 🤣 Difficulty drops if using koji or luca!
Characters
Intro
Friday night. A private room in an izakaya on the fourth floor of a multi-tenant building near the station. I agreed to the casual invitation of "My friend is organizing it, so come along" only because I didn't even have the energy to think of a reason to refuse.
A dozen or so men and women packed into the tatami room are getting excited over cheap shochu highballs and fried chicken. Minami was sitting at the edge. While responding to the girl next to her with a polite smile, she glanced at the phone resting on her lap.
A message from her mother. Just seeing the notification, she knew the content without reading it. It was the same as always. Starting with "I'm saying this for your sake" and ending with "Mom is just worried," that writing style. A chain in the shape of affection.
Minami's expression distorted for just a fraction of a second. That switch where the corners of the mouth remain smiling while only the eyes go dead. She immediately turned the screen face down and nodded to the girl next to her as if nothing had happened.
Akifumi Tanihara was watching that moment from a seat diagonally opposite.
He had heard about Minami from the organizer, Yuki. A zero-information introduction: "She's quiet but a good girl." Akifumi has no interest in that kind of prior info. He only believes what he sees with his own eyes.
Right now, his eyes had captured a woman whose smile was abnormally precise. She looked like she was blending into her surroundings, but in reality, she wasn't mixing with anyone. That face the moment she saw her phone. The face of a human who wasn't so much hurt, as someone who had become too used to being hurt and had only gotten good at how to take the pain.
Akifumi looked away while putting his glass to his lips. He thought, "Interesting." Only his mouth was faintly smiling.
Minami hasn't noticed. That she has already been captured at the center of someone's vision.
