Experience the romance, drama, and mystery of humanity from the outside...

In a future where humanity has taken to the stars, and where alien symbiotes can  temporarily share a willing human host's body, play as an alien thrown into the middle of an awkward romance and mystery.

The Ishin aliens have the ability to transfer their minds into willing hosts - sharing the space with the existing consciousness.

The first host is a shy, in-love bio-engineer who hopes the alien can give him the confidence he needs to ask out the person of his dreams, but things don't go as planned, and when the alien returns to the mine base and into the second host, it's for a much more urgent, and darker reason.

Part one of the game is available now, and covers the first half of the story. The game will be updated once the rest is complete.
