About this game Read the full description
The Beginning of the Curse
It all started with a simple investigation into an ordinary urban legend. An unidentified, eerie photograph found on a horror blog, and a secret ritual passed down to break its curse... But what seemed like a cure was actually the 'Fox's Window'—a forbidden necromantic ritual that leaves you completely cursed.
An Eroding Reality
She only wanted to wash away the deeply unsettling feeling. However, that single, desperate act became the catalyst for a curse that bleeds into her everyday life. Bizarre hallucinations, and nightmares that gradually take physical form. The places once so familiar have now transformed into the most terrifying stages of horror.
The Empty Village Part1
The Ongoing Nightmare
Tormented by the curse, the protagonist "Yoosong" begins to witness a tragic past that unfolded at an orphanage in 'Haseok-dong'—a village that vanished long ago. You must confront the chilling truth hidden in the shadows and find a way to break free from the curse.
Human, or Something Else?
As your daily life shatters, will you remain human? Or will you swallow the nightmare whole and become a completely new entity? Follow the footsteps of Yoosong as she wanders through the dark memories of the orphanage, and witness the deeply buried truth.

- Content warning
- The mature themes in "Empty Village (Part 1)" are fundamentally integrated into its narrative to explore deep-seated psychological horror and the dark history of the abandoned locations. Some scenes or dialogues may contain sexual themes to depict the past traumas of characters or the disturbing nature of the cult-related folklore surrounding the village. These elements are not intended to be gratuitous or for titillation; rather, they serve as a narrative tool to emphasize the grim reality and the sense of hopelessness that the protagonists must navigate. As a developer, I treat these subjects with professional gravity, ensuring they contribute strictly to the atmospheric tension and the maturity of the story.
