As players go through each illustration, they will solve puzzles, unravel mysteries, and explore the dark and chilling story at the heart of the game. 「The Twins, the Parents, and the Fish-Head Cult」 A boy with one eye, and a boy with one arm. A broken household. An evil cult with a mysterious faith. A series of horrifying tragedies. How do these things connect? 「A Fresh Visual Experience with a Unique Art Style」 Life Gallery utilizes a pen-and-ink drawing style and contains more than 50 illustrations, each one immersing the player in the frightening and uncanny world of the story. 「Easy to Control, Tricky to Solve」 Each puzzle in Life Gallery is hidden inside an illustration. The key to solving them lies in manipulating the objects within the illustrations to progress the plot and reveal the truth about the characters--relying not just on the player’s intelligence, but on their imagination and sensitivity to the illustrations and the story. 「Classical Artworks Turned into Nightmares」 Classical paintings such as the Mona Lisa and Dance form the basis for multiple levels within the game, turning classical works of art into surreal and nightmarish scenarios with which the player can interact.
