The story
Your wife was a developer at the software house Team 0141 Games. She was making a game called ASCESIS, but she never got to finish it.
In a letter she left behind, she asks you to play it. Moving between the real world and her game, you start to uncover what lies behind her death.
Soon you will no longer tell reality from fiction.

About us
A small team,
scary ideas.
Rocks Entertainment is a small independent studio from Italy. We make psychological horror games that bring back the mood of the PlayStation 1 era and use it to tell personal, unsettling stories.
We are independent and self-published, so every decision is ours. Every build also ships thanks to our community: they play the demos, report the bugs, and keep convincing us to carry on.
