INTRODUCTION
A boy is playing video games all the time in his room without consideration for the worries of his family. While controlling the boy, the player also controls the video games that the boy plays. The story of this game continues with the "reality in the game" and the "game in the game" are embedded in each other within the multi-layered world, focusing on the role of the characters appearing in video games.

STORY
By advancing through various "in-game games" such as FPS, RPG, Horror, etc., the boy himself and his reality will begin to change. From the experiences gained in the games, the boy begins to solve problems with his family. At the same time, characters from the game gradually appear in the boy's room, and his world gradually becomes a mixture of reality and the worlds of the games he is playing. The story weaves through this nested structure and focuses on the existence of characters in video games.



CONCEPT
During playing a video game, players always meet and part with many characters. When the player completes a game, the game's characters also leave the players by being released from the game's narrative and role. This is a work that unravels the strange relationship between players and the characters of video games formed by this interaction of separation.
