About this game Read the full description

You take on the role of a part-time worker at a paper-processing company, where your job is as repetitive as it is essential: check documents, box them, and move on to the next. But this isn't just another mind-numbing shift—the protagonist suffers from a disorder that causes frequent, random memory loss. Routine tasks are a constant struggle, and each day is a battle to remember even the simplest steps.

When you’re hired by a paper company promising stability, you quickly sense all is not as it seems. The lights flicker, colleagues act strangely, and gaps in your memory make details of the job—and the dark secrets of the workplace—difficult to piece together. Gradually, you realize something sinister is happening beneath the surface of ordinary office life.

  • Perform paper task while keeping the anomaly away from the shore

  • Take Painkillers to avoid the illusions

  • Piece together clues to banish the anomaly and save your soul

  • Solve random paperwork anomalies: identify and correct corrupted or “impossible” documents before they strengthen the anomaly.

  • Manage scarce resources: ration painkillers, coffee, or other meds, each with side effects that can alter perception or memory.
