Some legacies carry more weight than blood ties.

After your grandfather's death, you inherit an isolated and decaying residence, shrouded in silence. What should be a routine inventory turns into a surveillance nightmare when you realize your every move... is being watched.

Someone — or something — is watching you. Someone knows your habits, your clothes, and your secrets.

Both Julian and I have already discussed this. We were both developing it at the same time, and he agreed that it's not a copy, plain and simple. I'd appreciate it if you'd stop bothering him or me.

I love it and can't wait for more! There were some weird word choices in the beginning with the english version, so I wonder if something got mixed up in translation.

(+2)

The initial english translation wasn't done by me, and I've already corrected it for the next version to make it more understandable! :)

I loved this so much! Looking foward to seeing what happens next!
