There's not very much we can show you today - the last report was not so long ago and held mostly all serious updates, so today we'll tell you a little about the whole game concept.

We've already said that it has changed greatly since we started to work on the game, but never said what these changes are. For you to not be overwhelmed by information, we decided to start from the demo alone.

As we already said before, most part of the demo will be played from Mark's point of view (POV), though you'll get to play as Yoru at the beginning and at the end of the demo. And the whole second part of the story (demo is the first) is also played mostly from Yoru's POV.
The story takes place in several worlds at the same time. While Mark and Tia in the real world are working hard to help Yoru, he's wandering in his inner world, trying to find himself. In this world of madness, all of his frights and nightmares have came to life, his dearest people turned into horrible twisted creatures. Yoru needs to return his memories, lost due to his madness, bit by bit, starting from the most important (key) moments of his life.

But everything he manages to recall are not true by all means. In this twisted world it's easy to get confused and mess up with your memory even more. Will he be able to walk through events in his memories the same way he did so in reality long time ago? Or will he choose another way and will see what could have been then?

It's all up to player. All choices you make influence Yoru's personality and state of his mind. If you'll be able to fully understand main character and collect only the real memories, Yoru'll be able to return to his mind. But if you'll not...
Anyway, only walking through all possible events and branches will help you get the full picture of the events.

One should not also forget that it's the world within the world. Events happening in the real world reflect Yoru in his inner world, which is also not plain; the further you go, the harder it gets. Will Yoru even be able to get out of this nightmare and face all his fears? Who knows...

Mark and Tia's branch isn't less interesting, since it includes some serious mysteries of the past and lots of deciosions, reflecting the whole strory itself.

And as a reward for reading everything above, here's a new BG by Ai-lo. We decided to redo some parts of a couple of backgrounds and this is the first one (old is on left, new one on rigth).
