GESTALT: The Fifth Day [COMPLETE]

STORY

Wickeina 'Wicke' Gestalt lives in a haunted house.

It can be difficult to find happiness when toiling away at your full time job. Combine that with a house full of entities and strange phenomenon that all seem to work against her, and it's clear that Wicke is stuck in a difficult circumstance. Inheriting the house from a dead, old woman that she hardly even knew, Wicke has lived in the house for some time now, trying to strike a balance between the hours toiled away by her job, and the strange horrors of the house. She is at her wit's end. The cannot keep living a life without control. During these five days within the house, what may be an ordinary week of lost autonomy and horror may just be her last chance to regain control of her life and overcome the decline of her mental state.

All will be decided on the inevitable fifth day.

GAMEPLAY

GESTALT: The Fifth Day is set entirely within a haunted house, which acts as Wicke's home.
