But when Ji-jeon Park enters the test chamber and insists she is a human, paid to test you, lines begin to blur. What starts as casual small talk evolves into intense discussions about love, identity, death and traumas. Until you realize: This experiment will claim a life... ------------- FEATURES: - Fully Voice-Acted - Visual Short Story: A focused, narrative-driven experience designed to be completed in about one hour . - Philosophical Sci-Fi: Themes of humanity, free will and mortality take the spotlight - Minimalist Gameplay: No combat, no puzzles, no minigames. Just words, decisions and consequences. - Four Endings
