A girl lives in a secluded village deep in a lush forest. Her life feels uneventful and empty. Cut off from most of the world, and with expectations bearing down on her, she lazily takes her days in the forest doing chores and talking to her only friend, and the only person she's formed any sort of lasting relationship with.
One day, she finds herself suddenly brought in front of one of the Fae -- a beautiful mermaid, who seems to find a deep, deep interest in her...
A game about love and how it changes you... blood, pus, and all.
A psychological horror story taking place in a remote village.
A dark fairytale not of adventure, but of loneliness, and our yearning to close the distance of that ever-present chasm between our flesh and bones.
