Description
■ Concept
Their world makes sense.
You just don’t speak their language.
Not yet.
This is an empathy-driven psychological mystery adventure about chuunibyo—teens who construct their own “reality”—and the relationships that form around them.
Through Talk, Mind Read, and Translate, you piece together what’s left unsaid and uncover the truth behind their words.
The strange behavior is real. The pain underneath it is too.
This isn’t a story that laughs it off.
Character design and illustrations by Shikimi. Music and theme song by MURASAKI, with vocals by HINAKO.
Every frame, every note—crafted to draw you in.

■ Overview
You run The Second Reality Room.
Past lives. A cursed right arm. Another self that won’t stay quiet.
These are the kinds of troubles your Visitors bring—
and to them, every one is real.
Sit with them. Listen.
Uncover the feelings buried at the heart of the “Second Reality” they believe in.
And trace the path that led them there.
It starts small.
But the circle slowly widens, drawing in those around you… until it becomes something much bigger.
If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, this story is for you.
■ Gameplay
Use three unique mechanics to uncover each Visitor’s true feelings.

Talk: Choose topics and gather clues from their strange, reality-defying words.
Mind Read: Step into the “Second Reality” only the Visitors can see, and grasp the world beyond words.

Translate: Put what you’ve learned together, infer what lies beneath the surface, and uncover what they truly mean.

Fail to understand them—keep making the wrong choices—and things will quietly, inevitably get worse.
What kind of “salvation” awaits when you finally get it right?

User Reviews
I love this game. How the characters were written felt very realistic to me, and relatable. The art is really good, and the story is great!!! I loved learning about these characters and helping them so much. The game is worth your money :D
I have played all the chapters, if you like psychological mystery solving, it's the right game for you. The characters are all very interesting and relatable. I can't wait for the next chapters to release.
From what's available in the early access, I think the story is incredible! I love engaging with the character's stories and helping them.
I've just cleared the first case/am starting on the second one, but I can say I'm already hooked. The artwork/character design is fantastic; there is so much detail in each person. The music is really catchy and I could see leaving this on just to listen to it. Right now, highly recommend; it's fun, intriguing, and beautiful.
