A dark, branching visual novel inspired by the original short story. In a quiet Siberian settlement, peace is nothing but a thin illusion. Children begin to disappear, and an ordinary sixth-grader, newly arrived in the village, is drawn into a chain of frightening and inexplicable events. Winter blankets the village in snow, but the forest does not sleep. Something wanders among the blackened trunks, watching from the darkness and taking those who stray too close. Whispers echo through the night. Unfamiliar faces flicker in the windows. Footprints appear on untouched snow—footprints that don’t belong to anyone. And on the notice boards, photos of missing children multiply with each passing day. Anyone who hears the forest’s call will never be the same. To survive, they must face their fears, accept the consequences of their choices, and decide whether to stay alive… or stay human.
