Overtired graduate student Charisse LaFlamme picks up a part-time job editing a small academic journal. Her first task is to sort through a long backlog of emails that the previous editor never dealt with, deleting anything that doesn't look useful. As her university's email servers slowly sync the data and more and more old emails show up, a stranger starts messaging her to angrily insist that she stop deleting them. But Charisse needs to get paid, so she isn't going to let some random internet weirdo interfere with her work—no matter how bizarre some of the old emails get.
A largely text-based game made in about a month for NaNoRenO 2019. Contains some elements of supernatural and psychological horror, but nothing graphic and no jump scares. You're more than welcome to download this game for free, but if you'd like to donate a few dollars, it could really help with my future development projects. And if you get stuck at any point in the game, you can consult the official guide.
