As the days reset endlessly, you must unravel the truth hidden in the shadows of the facility. Interact with crew members, gather vital clues, and stay one step ahead to expose the alien among you. Can you convince ORACLE, the facility's AI, of the imposter's identity before it’s too late? Or will you be caught in an endless cycle of wrongful accusations?

A fun, attention grabbing, and fully voice acted visual novel with plenty of choices for personalized experiences. Fully worth your time and I would recommend it to any who like mysteries or short stories.
I played through all 4 endings of the game in about an hour its good, but very short. The game is a text based adventure game, that had me laughing during my first play through.
Wonderful artstyle (I loved chip). Loved how the characters stood out from the background. Very fun visual novel with interesting conversations. Would recommend to anyone who likes detective stories/games/movies.

A short story style visual novel game. Surprisingly fun, and not too straight forward depending on your choices. I enjoyed the voice acting, entertaining dialogue, and artstyle. Overall I would recommend more people to try this quick yet entertaining game.
I am so honored to illustrate the character art for this game!! The voice acting and storytelling matched perfectly with all of the characters and it was so cool to see this all put together!! I recommend anyone who loves a good visual novel game to check this out. Oh and I love chip and will be needing his pancake recipe!!!!
Very fun game with a very interesting premise. I like the character designs and the way each character is fleshed out in their own aspect.
AMAZING!!!!!!!! Great story with fun artwork. EVERYONE SHOULD PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Short little game about trying to find a shapeshifting alien in a space station. Took me ~1 hr to beat, and it's not super hard to figure out who the imposter is, but the comedic writing, charming art, and solid voice acting make it a game worth playing.
Interesting story and lovable characters!!! (Chip on top)
Solid game, overthought it like a mfer
