Two police officers investigate a kidnapping by examining recordings and security footage left at the scene. Through this evidence, the story follows a college student and the person who abducted her.
The visual novel presents much of the case through first-person narration, with the officers’ investigation framing the account. Its East Asian setting and psychological-horror themes center on the conflict between captor and victim.
Players read the story and click to choose the heroine’s response at key moments. Those choices lead to three different endings; the experience is primarily text-driven, with limited interactive decisions.
Players who enjoy the game often point to its unsettling, recognizable captor dialogue and the heroine’s composure and resistance, which some find powerful or cathartic. Reviewers also appreciate its provocative social themes, distinctive artwork, and concise story. Reactions are sharply mixed: some players find the subject matter compelling, while others find it upsetting or feel the writing and characterization are too blunt.
While investigating the evidence left by a stalker and kidnapper, track the fate of a college girl. The player advances and watches the plot by clicking to make choices for the heroine at key moments, with different choices leading to different endings.
Two unnamed police officers are investigating the media sensation “The Raw Incedent”. A college girl was kidnapped and imprisoned in the basement, but when her friend found the scene and called the police, the kidnapper was already dead and the victim of the kidnapping was in a state of semi-insanity, unable to provide any clues. The police found the kidnapper's voice recordings and security footage in the house, hoping to find the information that will reveal the whole truth. After two days of conflict and maneuvering between an ugly and rotten soul and a resolute and bold mind, the story finally unfolds in front of people.
The different options lead to three different endings, but only one of them is the truth. The other two are nothing more than someone's fantasies before death.
A short visual novel of psychological horror in an East Asian setting, available in English and Chinese, with a text volume of about 40,000 characters. Read John Fowles' The Collector before gaming for a better experience.
