Story[]

You find yourself locked in a room with an exit-door, and you need a heart in order to open it. You will find a key and will go deeper into the area. Later you meet White Face from who you have to escape.

Characters[]

The entity which follows and scares you in the game is called "White Face". It is like the name states, a skull-like white face, grinning at the beholder. The Face has no visible eyes; they seem to be just black holes.

In the steam edition, White Face forms into another form called 'HER' after when you complete the end of the original in the steam edition, you will unlock more locations and more dangers and puzzles. HER is slightly different to White Faces' form, HER has a full body instead of a head and a neck. When entering the 'Grave' level, which is the final boss battle of the steam edition, she will have mini pixelated faces all around her. After dying by 'HER' on that level, the game crashes and automatically closes on you.
