Synopsis[]
Misha was listening to a bedtime story by her "brother" Howard, in which dolls become sentient in order to make their wishes come true. The next day the house is different from how Misha remembers and Howard is gone.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find him anywhere and there's a monster lurking around. Fortunately she was saved by a mysterious boy named Ruig, who claims to be a doll. Ruig will help Misha to escape from that nightmare and find Howard.
Characters[]
Misha[]
Misha, Ruig and Howard
A curious little doll and Howard's favorite toy. She's very devoted to Howard and cares only about finding him, but comes to care about Ruig as the game progresses. It's revealed Howard was dead all along and Misha was there when he died, but she's on denial. During the day she sleeps while during the night she acts as if she were a real girl and Howard was alive. She also tends to talk in third-person.
Ruig[]
A gloomy and serious boy Misha encounters in the mansion. While he claims to be a doll, Misha discovers he's a human boy and Howard's classmate. It's revealed he's so gloomy because his father remarried another woman and they're having a baby, causing Ruig to feel abandoned and considering himself more doll than human. He likes cute things, especially dolls, and bonded with Howard because of that.
Howard[]
Misha's owner, a fragile boy who likes playing with dolls. Because of this, he was ostracized by his classmates until he met Ruig, bonding over their love for cute things. He's very attached to Misha and likes playing and talking to her as if she were alive. At the end of the game it's revealed he was dead all along, his mother went insane with grief after her husband divorced her and commited suicide, taking Howard with her.
Endings[]
Ending 1[]
Together one last time
If Misha talked to all the dolls and decides to stab the Howard in the dream world, she wakes up in the real world. She finds a letter written by Howard's mother, revealing that she commited murder-suicide out of grief after her husband left her, killing her son. Later, she sees an unconscious Ruig in the ballroom and while she tries to wake him up, she's attacked by the monster. Misha realizes the monster is Howard, who had become a vengeful ghost upon dying. She calls his name, causing Howard to regain his sanity. Ruig is happy to see Howard is okay, but he's sad they couldn't fullfill their promise. It's revealed Ruig befriended Howard on school, bonding over their love for cute things. Howard confided in him about his mother's abuse and how he was taking his anger on his dolls. They promised to play together the next day, but Howard was killed by his mother that night.
Having apologized to Misha for taking his anger on her and to Ruig for never coming to play, Howard doesn't have any more regrets and can pass to the afterlife. Before he disappears, he asks Ruig to take care of Misha, but both are surprised to see Misha would rather go to the afterlife with Howard, as she loves him too much. The two disappear together, saying goodbye to Ruig. He leaves the house and reunites with his father and stepmother.
Months later, Ruig visits Howard's abandoned mansion. He has finally accepted his stepmother and new brother on his life and has become much more cheerful as a result. As he leaves, Howard and Misha's spirits look over him.
