"My name is Lise. I'm 27, married, mother to one. My husband's a workaholic, but that's fine; it gives me lots of time to focus on my own projects.

I've been writing for a few years. At first, it was just small things: articles for the local newspaper, a bit of blogging, nothing too serious. Then came the accident. A car crash left me with big chunks of my memory missing; my psychiatrist told me writing could help me recover my missing memories, and I've been a novelist ever since. My first novel was entitled "Listhère". It didn't make it on any bestseller's lists, but that's alright.

That's not why I wrote it.

Despite the poor sales, it definitely attracted at least one loyal fan. A week after my book was first published I started receiving letters. Well, one letter, over and over. A cryptic message, telling me that Listhère, the fictional city at the heart of my novel, really exists.

Could it be true? Had I mistaken my own memories for my imagination?

Could this city help me find those fragments of my mind that had been missing for so long?

What would you do, if you were me?"

Play as Lise in her quest for answers and visit the mysterious city of Listhère!

Explore the strange city by solving puzzles and making careful decisions. Choices are based on the idea of the "Butterfly Effect": even a small action can have reprecussions later on. Keep an eye on Lise's anxiety gauge while you play; too much pressure, panic or fear can drive her to an early grave!

The anxiety:

Ever since her accident, Lise has been prone to frequent anxiety attacks.

If she gets scared, her anxiety level will rise as a result.

As she reaches new thresholds of fear, Lise will suffer side effects.

When her anxiety level goes up to 100%, Lise will have a stroke.

However, her anxiety gradually decreases if she is able to avoid stressful situations. She can also use various medications to decrease it instantly.

Stamina:

Lise can run by pressing the "Shift" key on your keyboard.

However, a stamina gauge will appear as you begin to run.

If the gauge is empty, Lise will stop to catch her breath.

In addition, her stamina will replenish slowly for a short time, due to her shortness of breath.

If she reaches a certain level of anxiety, her stamina will drain more quickly and take longer to recharge, limiting her ability to run.

Difficulty:

At the start of the adventure you will have to choose between "Naive" or "Unconcious" mode.

Naive mode is the normal difficulty of the game.

Unconscious mode is the harder difficulty of the game, and is recommended for players looking for a less more unforgiving challenge.

Unconcious mode makes the following changes:

- No save prompts before dangerous areas.

- Anxiety increases more rapidly.

- Bosses are harder to finish.

- Fewer consumable items.

- The puzzles are more difficult.

- The tests are more difficult.

Difficulty is locked during gameplay, so choose carefully before starting a new game.

At the end of the demo you'll be asked to fill out a very short form about your opinions on your experience. Please take the time to fill this out, as it will help us refine the game in future updates.  

We hope you have a good time playing this demo.
