Schism
Synopsis
Schism drops you into the life of an adult revisiting their childhood family home, but not all is as it seems. Explore the house, piece together what happened from scattered photos and help a pair of lovers pass beyond the veil.
Theme interpretation
- "Shadow" as fragments of memories, captured in photos
- "Alchemy" used by a shadowy figure to save their lover from certain doom
