Steam Store description

This is the first game I've ever made! I'm so happy to have completed it! Game Background: Ella is critically ill and near death. Her loving parents performed a sacrificial ritual to an unknown entity in a desperate attempt to save her—but instead invited a deadly parasite into their daughter. After the ritual, Ella’s consciousness was torn apart: one half became controlled malice, the other a remnant of survival instinct. You are that neutral fragment of her mind—a scale destined to tip toward evil. Gameplay: This horror game is a first-person walking simulator featuring VHS effects and a chilling atmosphere. You’ll explore environments, confront anomalies, and unlock new areas. Along the way, many eerie and terrifying events await. Be careful! The full playthrough lasts approximately 30 minutes. Key Features: - Walking Simulator - VHS Filter - Terrifying Atmosphere
