About
You wake up in HOME, a habitat drifting in space. There you meet Laica, a girl living there entirely on her own.
Share meals, listen to music, go on little adventures. Sometimes float together through zero gravity, just the two of you.
But beneath that calm, something is silently eating away at space itself. Return from the dangerous world of darkness and spend another ordinary day with Laica. The more you cross between the two worlds, the more the strangeness seeps into the quiet life you share.
A world that rots and loses its shape. Creatures that prowl the dark. And in time, Laica herself begins to be consumed.
Who is she? What happened out here? And why are you here at all? Build your bond with Laica and reach the truth hidden in the darkness of space.
