A downloadable game

    

   Take the life of an entire universe into your hands. It's up to you to find its infection and fix it before said universe is long gone. This is a power given to you when you enter a shady job interview, and your employer is definitely a perfectionist.

With this, you've placed yourself into the consciousness of a young man called 'Sunlight.'  A doll-maker by the name of Marion - also Sunlight's lover - has been missing for a month straight.  A certain childhood friend, Silvia, tells him that she saw his boyfriend run off with another man. Sunlight would usually be inclined to believe a friend, but something feels... off. Or is HE the worrying one? For some reason, he appears to hallucinate and misremember. Time is ticking, and you have to figure out what's going on. Will you be able to get your employer's desired 'perfect ending'? You're only allowed to mildly influence someone who is in such a deep state of depression - a man who can barely bring himself to get out of bed and dreads leaving his home.

Will you do the right thing and implant the correct ideas? Or do you just see this as a silly activity? That option is for you to decide... This demo has 4 different endings. Neutral, good, bad, and secret.
