Inhabit the party.
Switch into your companions’ actual bodies, each with a position, weapon, health, and ability of his own. John remains the viewpoint; each companion brings a different aspect of him to the fore.

01 / A WORLD RECONSTRUCTED
Forty years ago,
you drew the map.
Now it’s come for you.
An old computer. His father’s maps. A game that remembers him.
John returns to the dungeon crawler he once played with his father. The old computer, the floppy disk, and handwritten maps lead back to a game that has kept more than he expected.
Begin in a playable green-screen dungeon. Recover six familiar companions and command them through a round-based battle. Beyond a door that should not exist, the remembered game becomes a world John can inhabit.
THE PAST ISN’T FINISHED WITH YOU.
Reconstruct the past.
Uncover the truth.
02 / INSIDE THE LABYRINTH
You are not alone.
You are your own party.
Think. Prepare. Act.
Face real-time encounters with guarding, spells, and tactical pause. Order the party to follow, hold, protect, or focus. Read a watchman’s windup, prepare a Ward, and switch to the Mage when an opening appears.
Grow through understanding.
Remembered discoveries and story actions build shared Understanding and unlock new readings of Firebolt and Ward. Repeated fights don’t earn progress. Magic uses renewable Clarity; the memories stay with you.
03 / THE SIX WHO RETURN
Different bodies.
Parts of the same self.
Six companions in the opening journey.
Six ways of seeing what lies ahead.
- Fighter
- Courage
- Lord
- Responsibility
- Samurai
- Discipline
- Thief
- Adaptability
- Bishop
- Wisdom
- Mage
- Imagination
What will you hold on to?
Follow a fragile trace of your father’s handwriting, or turn toward the companion asking for your attention. Preserve an unfinished route, or make a new mark together.
These moments are untimed. Consider the other aspects’ thoughts, review your choice, and decide when you’re ready. What you keep—and what you miss—stays with the journey.
