Dark rooms, dimly lit corridors, and eerie music and sound effects add tension to the player. The game progresses in the form of an exchange diary. The protagonist can obtain her girl's diary and send her his own diary. The contents of the diary are written about the girl's depressive symptoms, her internal conflicts, and experiences of strange phenomena. Depending on the player's choices and actions, the girl's state and the progress of the story will change.
