Android Coming soon
You explore an old house on foot, by flashlight, reading what its family left behind. Over seven chapters you solve the puzzles that lead you deeper in, and you hide when something in the house hears you. There are four endings, and a secret scene after the credits.
The game starts in Khmer and can switch to English at any time, in the settings. It has spoken lines in both languages, a journal that keeps what you have found, and touch controls for phones.
