Are you still contacting your friends from school?

Do you still remember the love from the youth?

And even more, do you still have the dream that keeps your heart beating?

You’ve been trained to have a heart covered by unbreakable shell. In this game, you are going through a journey to crack it, leading to the long forgotten.

Who is murmuring in the dark? Who is screaming for help through the crack?

Happiness and torture, past and current, drop by drop, are all there to be collected, by you.

When it is finally at your fingertip, will you become a warrior, a deserter, or, a murderer?

Humbly offered by SMS Studio, a journey of Crack.
