About
Latest version [2.0.5]
When the protagonist wakes up, they find themselves lost in a different world. As they learn the words of the mysterious monsters that speak a strange language, they search for a way to escape.

In this alternate world, a different language is used. Players will interpret and dechiper characters' words through expressions, gestures and the objects they point to.

The language of this world isn’t as refined as human languages. One meaning is concentrated in one word, with almost no particles; a string of words conveys only a rough meaning.

This is a point-and-click adventure game. Players will investigate items to learn words or engage in conversation to progress.

Choices for actions are available at various points. Small changes in development, branching paths, or even instant death can occur.

Even if you reach a game over, you can retry from just before without any penalties.
There’s no affection management, and acquiring flags will unlock more choices. Players can freely jump back to previously encountered scenes from chapters and try again. Play comfortably and easily!

There are 20 types of mid-story endings (bad endings or unresolved problems).
There are a total of 17 endings, including character route endings and late-stage endings upon reaching Chapter 5.
*Note: There is a fake ending presented as a happy ending midway through the story, so please be careful not to misunderstand.

◆Playtime
It takes about 5 hours to complete one full playthrough of all routes.
*This game is designed with replayability in mind, where understanding character conversations may require re-watching scenes after filling up the dictionary.
◆Playing without sound is not recommended (There are sound-based effects).
Players who want to make the characters say funny things or try different playful approaches are also welcome to enjoy the game freely.
Sums Steam only; Nintendo publishes no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

초반에 단어 잘못 쓰면 스노우볼 제대로 구름 닥쳐라 라고 이해한 단어 메모했더니 뒤에 계속 닥쳐라 소리 들음
Such a good game and fun mechanic. Loved every part of it. Each and every character is interesting and well written. I'm not a horror fan but I still didn't find the game to be scary at all. Hope to see more games from the developers!
i love it

its amazing
i love the idea of a horror game where you have to learn the language of the entities, i've never seen another game with this before. i think the user interface is cool and i'm enjoying it quite a bit
好玩,结局很丰富,浪漫同时不失解密的乐趣和恐怖
Best VN game I've played so far, trying to decipher their language is a one of a kind idea. Highly recommended. P.S: I would definetely not call it as a romance game so if you looking for romance you looking to the wrong place.
ละนี่ตกใจฉากตุ้งแช่ทุกฉาก แต่พี่คลานน่ารักมากกก เลิฟเลยล่ะ
Loved the concept of playing a high-stakes Duolingo session with monsters! The atmosphere is genuinely great. But calling this an Otome game is false. You never get past surface-level interactions with the characters, and the endings just sort of fizzle out. I guess the game mechanic is partially at fault for that. Though even with Mr. Crawling, the "romance" basically consists of him deciding not to murder you on sight. I would love to see a sequel though, perhaps with actual dark romance and romance options?
