A missing woman, told through her phone
The whole game happens on Anna's phone. You scroll her messages, emails, gallery, social feed, browser history and dating app, and talk to her friends while they message back with no idea where she is. The cast appears in filmed video and voiced calls shot in real places, so reading feels like watching someone's life from the inside. You piece together fragments, recover lost files and corrupted data, and retrace her last steps to find her before it is too late.
Choices, puzzles and five endings
This is a branching story where your replies matter. You decide who to believe, what to say as you pose as Anna to get answers, and which recovered clues to follow. Recurring image and text decryption puzzles gate parts of her story, alongside passwords and deleted data. Those decisions and discoveries lead to five possible endings, so a second run can turn out very differently if you side with someone else or notice a file you skipped.
What should visual novel readers know?
How much reading is there?
A lot. Texts, emails, social posts, browser pages and chat replies carry the plot, with filmed video and voice calls breaking up the reading. Expect to spend your time scrolling, rereading threads for clues, and choosing what to say next.
Do your choices change the story?
Yes. The narrative branches toward five endings based on who you trust and specific choices along the way. Some information only comes out if you push a contact a certain way or recover the right file, so attention matters.
How scary does it get?
It is psychological horror with a thriller edge. The phone itself starts behaving strangely as you go deeper, and disturbing videos and sudden scares punctuate the search. The fear comes from what you find in Anna's private material, not from combat or chases.
How do the puzzles work?
Puzzles stay inside the phone format: restoring deleted files, repairing corrupted images and text, and working out passwords from what Anna left behind. They are straightforward clues for visual novel readers rather than a separate puzzle mode, and each solved piece adds background to her final days.
