📖 THE STORY

A series of murders that has shaken the city has forced the special task force to work around the clock.

“He took his brother’s life and turned his love into a tortured shadow. She belongs to him, yet she never chose him.”

Your task is to find connections in a case with no direct evidence — but with hostages whose lives hang in the balance.

“Are you here from Lieutenant General Nikulin?” Yesenia asks. “Come in.”

I hope you are ready for a journey into the mind of a mad genius. This is a surreal labyrinth where logic collapses and colors turn into emotions. His mind is a chessboard where every piece plays its part. You are the pawns, swept from the board with a single movement of his hand.

Checkmate. He is always one step ahead. Do you really think you can outplay him? The stakes are high. Are you ready to take the color red literally?

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

A strong and unusual storyline — an intriguing story about the rise of a serial killer that gradually unfolds through audio recordings, scenes with actors, and notes.
Excellent acting— the characters are vivid and emotional, and the actors fully immerse themselves in their roles..
Large locations and solid technical execution— spacious rooms, well-designed lighting, and sound that help create a strong atmosphere.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

Not a very scary experience — the game feels more like a story-driven performance than an intense horror experience.
Some character clichés — the images of the killer and the victim resemble typical horror and escape-room tropes.
Some locations feel a bit empty or unclear — due to the large space, certain rooms seem under-decorated or not fully utilized.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

An interesting and distinctive project with a strong story and great acting. The game impresses more with its narrative and atmosphere than with pure fear. It is best suited for fans of detective stories, true crime, and story-driven performances.
