You are trapped in HOPE, a masked cult where pain is salvation. Every thought is tallied. Every smile is a lie. Conform for happiness, or face your guilt to escape.
Pain is freedom. Even death becomes the highest honor. Let your troubles lose their sting, let mourning fall away, and find the relief you have been denied.
Welcome to HOPE, Neighbor.
Survive a suffocating atmosphere of fear-based compliance, and conform to a cult’s blood-curdling behavior codes while under the watchful eye of its masked members.
HOPE’s seven-strike Conduct System scores every hesitation, every stray thought, every refusal. Your fate is calculated, and certain infractions of the code will increase your score, leading to all kinds of mysterious outcomes.
Every act is watched. Every word is weighed. Pose as a perfect cult disciple: don a painted smile, maintain a spotless record, and perform daily duties to avoid suspicion:
Attend Education courses… where failing quizzes will result in severe punishment
Cooperate during interrogations… where certain answers may cost fellow members their lives
Select the day’s victim for painful Reformation rituals
Piece together clues strewn about HOPE’s 34-floor facility
Hack forbidden systems and infiltrate off-limits backstage areas that shed light on HOPE’s unsettling origins
Relive traumatic memory fragments that surface as artifacts and diary pages, unveiling the truth behind 3279’s arrival
Avoid the Benevolent Father, HOPE’s leader, who lurks in the halls and sacrifices anyone caught snooping
Traverse 60+ hand-drawn scenes and cinematic animations, fusing surrealism with the oppressive density of an imagined Hong Kong.
Immerse yourself in a hypnotic electronic soundscape by an award-winning composer. The music blurs the line between euphoria and dread, pulling you deeper into the cult’s embrace.
